aka The Thing.Scientist at an Arctic research station discover a spacecraft and alien passenger, buried in the ice. Excited, they take the alien back to the base for further tests. Unfortunately they little realise that they have brought a hideous monster into their midst. A monster hell bent of killing them all.
A fantastic sci-fi horror that perhaps helped launch the creature feature boom of the 5os. Where John Carpenter's version is every man for himself paranoia, this is much more a team effort as the personnel band together to defeat the common enemy. A fine example of 50's anti-communist propaganda or just a ripping good yarn? You decide.
