- An American scientific expedition to the frozen wastes of the Antarctic is interrupted by a group of seemingly mad Norwegians pursuing and shooting a dog. The helicopter pursuing the dog crashes leaving no explanation for the chase. During the night, the dog mutates and attacks other dogs in the cage and members of the team that investigate. The team soon realises that an alien life-form with the ability to take over other bodies is on the loose and they don't know who may already have been taken over. - Goth
This film, to many, represents one of the last great 'hands on' special effects movies, its beyond effective... whilst towards the end of the 80s, sfx turned towards the less effective computer generated field, here we see the perfection of hands on.
As far as this being a remake goes, its a perfect remake, surpassing the original in every way, and it does this by just taking the basic plot and then doing its own thing.
A must see horror movie.
