Howard Hawks’ The Thing from Another World is a fairly typical ‘50s sci-fi adventure film. Based on a short story, a US Air Force team at an Artic research station is sent to investigate a possible UFO craft hidden beneath the ice and end up discovering an alien creature. The writing is very broad and relies mostly on character stereotypes. And, the directing does a rather poor job at bringing suspense and intensity to the UFO discovery and the ensuing standoff with the alien. Still, there’s enough action and excitement in The Thing from Another World to be mildly entertaining.
