No greater horror film to date

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2006)

First off i got to say i loved this movie. Im also a John Carpenter fan myself. There are 3 main reasons why i liked this movie.
One is trust, these people had no trust in one another not knowing which one was a potential thing, and being isolated from civilization was also a great plot. I feel that putting them in the antarctic limits there sense of freedom which in turn, doesn't leave many places to hide.
Another thing i really loved in this film were the creatures. For one, there a totally different style of animal with no stable shape or size. Another key aspect is, they are never the same. No 2 creatures in the entire film were alike in the least, they were each unique in form.
I also liked the special effects in the film. I feel they are still as powerful in this time as they were in 1982. I feel Kurt Russel did a great job as well, showing a rugged look as though he were untouchable, and yet he shows fear when confronted by a thing unlike himself but does not back down when faced with the task of eliminating the threat of total takeover of the campsite.
I recommend this film for any horror film lover, whether your of the new generation or a classic horror fanatic. I hope they will make a sequel, but i'm not so sure it would do the movie justice.
