At an Antarctica research site, the discovery of an alien craft leads to a confrontation between a graduate student and a scientist.
OK prequel to John Carpenter's The Thing (which was in itself a remake) that tries to surpass it's counterpart with gory special effects: the result making it appear superfluous.
