One Of The Best Horror Movies Ever Made!

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 2002)

Truly a great horror film, there's never been one like it before or since. Kurt Russell gives his best performance ever in this horror movie set in Antarctica. The movie's pace is non-stop, and all of the scenes ring true. The special effects are still great more than twenty years later. What makes the monster truly frightening is that it isn't good or evil, or right or wrong, but that it destroys to survive, and that its path of destruction is unstoppable. This is one of the few movies where the term "Lovecraftian" can really be used. The monster is from somewhere else, and is not a conventional anthropomorphic creature with corny dialogue. Very original, if only Hollywood would make more horror films like this! 10/10.
