Where's the sequel?

Rating: Null/10 (23 June 2003)

This film is great. This film exploits the "cabin-fever" horror plot, people stuck somewhere with something they don't like, I personally really like that kind of horror, add weird deformations you've struck gold.
---possible spoilers---
This film will sent the chills down your spine multiple times. An alien life-form has entered an American research station in the guise of a dog, which was being chased by clearly tired, frightened and slightly crazy Norwegians. When the dog turns into some weird deformed monster when put in with the other dogs MacReady (Kurt Russel) decides to head out to the Norwegian camp and find out what's going on, this is the big "finding out" scene and is scary, to say the least, without any gore I might ad. There they pretty much find out that what happened to the Norwegians is pretty much going to happen to them all over again. John Carpenter portrays human behavior pretty realisticly, especially Blair cracking down under the burden that is his knowledge of the creature is well done.
I only have a couple of questions: -Where's the sequel? -Why the hell do people have flamethrowers on the North Pole?? :)
