The latest review is posted.  This movie really annoys me.  That is on account of it copying "The Thing" so closely, along with healthy amounts from the "Alien" franchise.

I haven't seen the remake of "The Thing" and I only saw parts of the old B&W version as a kid.

And this movie really annoys me anyway...

Mostly because the 'shock' at the ending basically made the last half of the movie make absolutely no sense.






If the two survivors were really infected then that means there was a point where everyone had been infected and thus no reason for the fight between those 'known' to be infected and those also infected but not yet revealed to the audience

Thank heavens that someone else has seen this.

And yes, the ending is infuriating.

This also looks to be a ripoff of Leviathan, which itself was a ripoff of The Thing and Alien, set on an undersea mining platform.

It's not what you say, it's how you say it.

Nice review, Andrew.  I think I'll just watch THE THING again, thanks.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
