Trivia
The cast and crew actually lived in the cabins where the film is shot. They had no internet connection or cell service.

Goofs
Jensen tells Olsen that he could make it to the Indian reserve, 90 to 100 miles away, in a day or a day and a half. In good walking conditions this might be just barely possible for a seasoned hiker; but not through mountainous terrain, in the dead of winter, with a foot of snow on the ground. Jensen has lived at the camp for three years, and would presumably know better.

Quotes
Deer God: When an animal looks up at the night sky, what does it see? Thousands and thousands of tiny points. Then a man looks up at the same points and sees millions of stars; galaxies, within which are billions of planets. Do you want to know what I see? Were you there when I created the stars?

A Frustratingly Unfulfilling Movie

This movie sounded right up my alley when I read the synopsis. An ancient structure is uncovered in the Canadian wilderness which has no right to be there. It's hard to describe the way the storyline spirals out of control with out giving away any spoilers, but the ancient structure, which is the focus of the film previews, seems to be all but forgotten by the end of the movie. I wish I could go into more detail, but I really don't want to give away any spoilers. And the ending isn't even an ending, albeit a very predictable scene due to some very clumsily inserted plot dialogue early on. The sort of statement that immediately makes you think, "I wonder when that's going to happen then." But nothing is really explained, there are several plot points left unresolved, hell, the entire story remained unresolved, with plot dead ends, and a very unfulfilling ending, which just seems lazy. To be fair the acting is pretty good throughout and the Canadian scenery is awesome, without that it would have got a 2.
