“The Thing” (1982)

A US research station, Antarctica, early-winter 1982. Their routine is interrupted when they encounter something strange brought in from the icy wilderness. As they investigate, they realize they’re dealing with a life form unlike anything they’ve ever seen, one that can imitate any living being perfectly. Isolation, paranoia, and mistrust spread through the team as they try to figure out who is still human and who isn’t.
