Overview

When paleontologist Kate Lloyd travels to an isolated outpost in Antarctica for the expedition of a lifetime, she joins an international team that unearths a remarkable discovery. Their elation quickly turns to fear as they realize that their experiment has freed a mysterious being from its frozen prison. Paranoia spreads like an epidemic as a creature that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish in this spine-tingling thriller.

Rated R | Length 103 minutes

Viewing Notes

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would based on people’s negative comments. It’d be fun to watch this and John Carpenter’s The Thing back to back.

My biggest complaint was the lack of tension in most of the scenes and that so much of it was repetitive of Carpenter’s version. They could have done more interesting stuff with the creature and really blew the chance for that.
