Polar monster

The Thing from Another World (1951)

Directed by Christian Nyby this film based on the novella “Who Goes There?” stars Kenneth Tobey, Margaret Sheridan and Robert Cornthwaite. Something strange has crashed near a science base in the Arctic, military and civilians investigate.

The plot of this film is fairly basic is not much more than a sci-fi B movie. Compared to the 1982 version of this film this adaptation lacks the suspense and tension leaving the film a bit flat. Some of the special effects are not great and the monster is never really scary.


3/5
