Hands down the best Alien/The Thing ripoff ever.

🤔 Now you got us thinking over here. It just might be. Gonna have to dig up some other contenders.

Love it. Saw it in the theater opening day.

[@flixinaminute]

Lucky you. I remember having to wait for it to drop on VHS.

Awesome film

[@flixinaminute]

Agreed.

Leviathan, Deep Star Six, and the Abyss, all out around the same time, and very similar stories.

[@flixinaminute]

Totally forgot about Deep Star Six. Gonna have to check it out and refresh my memory. Thanks!

I'll take practical effects over CGI effects any day of the week.

[@flixinaminute]

All day every day. It's a lost art, but when you find a movie using practical effects, it's just a whole other vibe.

Tässä elokuvassa sana ”myrkkyviina” saa aivan uuden merkityksen. Yksi omista kestosuosikeistani.

😂 LOL! He olivat kyllin rohkeita juomaan sen jälkeen, kun se oli ollut veden alla koko ajan. Harmi heidän puolestaan.
