Masterpiece.

Rating: 10/10 (9 February 2005)

This is an excellent sci-fi/horror movie. Many of today's movies don't compare with this in my mind.
The setting is perfect--it wouldn't be nearly as scary in a desert or island--the arctic climate heightens the theme and tones of being stranded with no one you can trust.
The special effects, although at times a bit cheesy, are very well done, especially for the year it was made (this is from the 80's, people, don't be so critical). The limits in special effect technology is the only thing that holds the movie back--if it were remade as well today, it would be a HUGE hit! (although Blair's computer shouldn't be changed a bit--man that was engrossing) I recommend this movie to ANYONE unless you're super-ly-afraid of any scary elements in movies (I cant watch most scary movies without a nightmare or two, but that didn't stop me). I showed this to all my friends, and they all loved it. And besides, if you're too stingy to buy it, at least rent it or watch it on HBO or Starz (I did today!)
