Nice special effects, outstanding for the time, but otherwise - oh dear.

Rating: 3/10 (31 December 2019)

Whilst flame throwers may be good for killing Things, I really couldn't fathom out why a research station in Antarctica would have such contraptions. Maybe to thaw out stuff, but they seem to be a bit of an overkill for that. And this is why the film fails. It lacks any plausibility, that and the fact that Alien got there first. Could it have better, probably not.
