One of he best sci-fi horror films ever.

Rating: Null/10 (2 January 2005)

The opening sequence is remarkable, tension, curiosity build up as the Norwegians in the helicopter hunt the dog, mess everything up when at the US base and blow the helicopter to pieces. Death, horrible death, now figures at every step of plot development. The movie is mostly interiors as the base personnel and the alien battle for survival. Outside is the deep freeze, and certain death. Inside is confusion and violence, and inevitable death, though the hopelessness of the situation, death for all humans and the alien is not revealed until the end. There is no happy ending, only destruction and suicide. The cast are impressive, the special effects convincing. I rate this as as one of the best of the sci-fi horror genre. It still makes me jump after seeing it at least a dozen times!
