Paranoia with a Purpose

Rating: 9/10 (22 June 2002)

One of the best horror/suspense films ever made. The characters are believable, the premise is intriguing and the effects have dated pretty well over the past 20 years.
Crewmembers of an isolated Antarctic outpost encounter a shape-shifting alien, who starts to kill and take over members of the crew, creating a real "who do you trust?" atmosphere. An incredible study in paranoia, and even Wilfred Brimley is good! Great direction by John Carpenter (who for once, THANKFULLY, does not
also provide the score for the film).
A must-rent, and must-buy for horror/suspense fans.
