Arctic Blast is a 2010 Australian-Canadian science-fiction film directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith.
Filming took place over eighteen days in 2009 â sixteen in Hobart, Tasmania, plus two in Ottawa, Canada for scenes with Bruce Davison. Post production work was done in Canada.
Trenchard-Smith later wrote "it was a challenge to make what looks like a bank of thick morning fog feel scary."
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."
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.
