It's like Alien(s)..... only it's in Antarctica

Rating: 8/10 (24 October 2015)

This movie is very suspenseful. A nail biter. It reminded me of the Alien movies: an isolated group of people with little to no outside communications, and little to no way of escaping. All they can do is track the thing(ha). There was a keen sense of very rightful paranoia. As you see, this thing, is a chameleon, and could be anyone or more than one.
There's lots of gory grossness, and may even be scary to some people. I mainly found it suspenseful. What's missing, is well, a Ripley. Or any female for that matter. The entire cast is male. Mmmn, I could overlook that, but kept feeling a lack of something, and I think that was it.
It has a great little track of a suspenseful sound effect, almost like a heartbeat slowed down and with the pitched changed. All the acting was very good. The ending was a little disappointing. I don't know if they were setting up for a sequel, or the director wanted to leave it mysterious. I would have preferred a more defined ending.
I just watched it for the first time, and for 1982, it has held up very well. If you like the Alien movies I think you will definitely like this movie.
