Besides “The Day After Tomorrow” and “An Inconvenient Truth”, there haven’t been a lot of films about climate change, and even then “An Inconvenient Truth” is meant to be a documentary. Am I missing any? I feel like I must be missing some.

“The Last Winter” is a new horror film set against a background of global warming. Starring James LeGros and Ron Perlman, it takes place in the arctic region of Alaska, and of course as the environment warms and the permafrost clears, something horrible rises out of the formerly-frozen ground.

Debuting in Canada in 2006 (on September 11th!), the film went into limited release in the USA on September 19th 2007. Treehugger just ran an article about it recently, which is where I heard about it.

Sadly it’s not available yet on DVD, so no Netflix or Amazon links yet. But you can watch the trailer on Youtube or at Apple.
