I've seen Fortitude (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3498622/), I know how this ends (not well).
Not sure about a movie but I think the horror-ish show Fortitude was filmed there. First season was good, then downhill from there.
If this corner of the world interests you, I highly recommend the science-fiction series Fortitude:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3498622/
It ran two seasons. Both are worth watching.
TV series Fortitude (2015) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3498622 explores this kind of scenario happening on Svalbard, highly recommended. Features blindsight https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindsight as a plot device
Similar parasitic fungus that "zombifies" ants: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiocordyceps_unilateralis
A similar storyline is also featured in the TV show Fortitude. The first two seasons are on Amazon Prime, but I haven't been able to find the third season in the US, despite it being a couple of years old now.
Does this remind anyone of season one of Fortitude on Prime?
On the other hand, the first season of Fortitude[1,2] was quite fun.

I was about to comment the same thing, but Ctrl-F'd for Fortitude first.
It's a great show, and without spoiling is on-topic for this subject. Season 2 is a bit out there, but I really recommend people watch it.
I'm surprised that Fortitude [1] hasn't been mentioned yet.
It's a fairly good TV show on this topic.
