A totally fantastic premise of an alien found near an arctic outpost. Its brought back to the camp where it thaws and does what all self-respecting aliens do…it kills! The early '50s effects are somewhat dated but they're good enough because they're accompanied by some real suspense and even some jump-back-in-your-seat frights. This movie has a lot of atmosphere perhaps due to the confined living quarters of the outpost. It's got a pretty satisfying finale too. My Dad told me this movie scared him like no other in his younger days. Well times have changed I guess. I don't find it scary but I think its got some great conflict and some tense moments.
