An Antarctic research team is hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of its victims in John Carpenter’s classic sci-fi shocker packed with relentless suspense, eye-gouging visual excess and nihilistic terror. In the menace of the dark polar night and the claustrophobic confines of the base camp, Kurt Russell leads an outstanding cast to the heights of icy fear, tension and paranoia. Rob Bottin’s sensational creature effects is one of the most vividly gruesome monsters ever to stalk the screen.
