One of the best horror films ever made.

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2001)

This movie is simply a peak achievment in the genre of Horror/Sci-Fi. Everything here clicks from the moment the first images of the bleak Antartic landscape and the lone dog running towards the camp appear on the screen. John Carpenter is a master at building and holding an audience in suspense, and when this modern day Hitchcock is teamed with the fantastically twisted mind of make-up artist Rick Baker the effects are nothing less than stunning.
