Arctic Blast
Poster for Arctic Blast. A dramatic, icy scene shows a suspension bridge engulfed in a fast-moving blizzard or freeze wave. Snow and ice dominate the environment, and abandoned vehicles line the bridge. In the distance, a freezing fog obscures the structure. The tagline at the top reads "-70 DEGREES AND DROPPING!" The title is centered in bold, icy letters. Cast members Michael Shanks, Alexandra Davies, and Bruce Davison are credited above the title.

Cast

Production

Filming took place over eighteen days in 2009 – sixteen in Hobart, Tasmania, plus two in Ottawa, Canada for scenes with Bruce Davison.[4] Post production work was done in Canada.[5]

Trenchard-Smith later wrote "it was a challenge to make what looks like a bank of thick morning fog feel scary."[2]

Reception

Trenchard-Smith was happy with the end result, writing "I'm quite proud of the film. It's a strong example of its micro-genre, and I had a good time making it."[2]

SciFiDimensions gave the film a balanced review with pros and cons, saying it was "passable but ... forgettable" among disaster movies, with its flaws holding back its potential.[6]
