Trailer for Cool-Looking Revenge Thriller POLARIS, Described as MAD MAX in the Arctic
I’ve got a trailer here for you to watch for a cool-looking Canadian revenge indie thriller titled Polaris. The movie comes from director KC Carthew, who describes the film as "Mad Max in the Arctic, an origin story of a world gone to shame that builds from themes of environmental stewardship/horror."
The movie is set in 2144 against the harsh backdrop of a frozen wasteland, “Sumi, a human child raised by Mama Polar Bear, narrowly escapes capture from a brutal Morad hunting party and sets out across the vast winter landscape. When Sumi stumbles across Frozen Girl, an unlikely friendship is forged and together they race ahead of the vindictive hunters towards the only guiding light Sumi knows, the Polaris star. Filmed in the subarctic, the story is set in a futuristic frozen world born of the brutal disregard of generations prior – where any nation could be buried under the snow."
The filmmaker further explained: "it is inspired by eco-feminism and the need for significant cultural and sustainable change. The film portrays these themes with an entirely female cast – including the polar bear."
It looks like a beautifully shot film, especially with the setting. The movie is set to premiere at the 2022 Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal coming up this summer. For more information visit the film's official website. Watch the trailer and tell us what you think.
