Synopsis:


THE ULTIMATE IN ALIEN TERROR... here on earth!

Horror-meister John Carpenter (Halloween, Escape from New York, Vampires, Red Eye) teams Kurt Russell's outstanding performance with incredible visuals to build this chilling re-make of the classic The Thing.

In the winter of 1982, a twelve-man research team at a remote Antarctic research station discovers an alien buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Soon unfrozen, the form-changing alien wreaks havoc, creates terror and becomes one of them.
