This movie reminds me a lot The Thing.  It's derivative of the earlier horror films that have done the "crew trapped in an isolated area tormented by monsters" and isn't overly original in the way it tells it's story.  The ending is rather hokey, but for an 80's horror flick this isn't terrible.

3/5 STARS
