Isolation Makes Everything Worse
The Antarctic setting is crucial.
The characters can't simply leave.
There is no convenient police station.
No hospital.
No army coming to rescue them.
No Uber.
No Amazon delivery guy who accidentally wanders in and gets eaten.
They're completely isolated.
The environment itself becomes part of the horror.
It's freezing.
It's dark.
Communication is limited.
Resources are disappearing.
And the number of people they can trust is shrinking.
Isolation transforms suspicion into survival instinct.
If you believe someone might be infected, you can't afford to be polite about it.
And once violence begins, there's almost no going back.
