When a seasoned crisis manager injects himself into a dysfunctional family, and their faltering whiskey company, he must navigate through a public relations nightmare involving a triple homicide, an Arctic ice mummy, and a batch of intergalactic moonshine.
Freestyle Digital Media distributes in the US.
Filmed in Ontario, Canada.
Director Jesse Thomas Cook was quoted saying: “After 13 horror movies and having tackled zombies, creature features, cults, haunted houses, et cetera., one of the remaining subgenres I had yet to explore was the nearly forgotten mummy film. I was always fascinated by the disastrous 1845 Franklin Expedition, and the discovery of its preserved ice mummies. We based the creature design in THE HYPERBOREAN on one of the Franklin mummies buried at Beechey Island. This is our very Canadian ice mummy movie, and we are thrilled to be working with Freestyle on the U.S. release!”
The film’s title is a reference to the name of certain people in Greek mythology. “The Hyperboreans were a mythical people who lived in the far northern part of the known world.” Read more about it here.
