Acclaimed indie horror director Jesse Thomas Cook blends supernatural mystery, whodunit suspense and family dysfunction in his latest film 'The Hyperborean', an icy chiller set against the backdrop of a doomed 1800s Arctic expedition.
With a colorful cast of failed pseudo-businessmen, including a wannabe ranch couple and a hipster whisky bar manager, 'The Hyperborean' takes an unexpected turn when the family's patriarch, a cold and ruthless businessman, meets a tragic supernatural fate after trying to commercially exploit a 170-year-old whisky discovery.
