The movie stars Kurt Russell (3000 Miles to Graceland, Stargate), Richard A Dysart (LA Law tv, Truman), Richard Masur (Palindromes, Forget Paris), Wilford Brimley (Last of the Dogmen, The Natural), and Keith David (They Live, Armageddon).
The plot is a research lab in Antarctica is forced to defend itself from a dog infected by an alien infested dog. Teh alien jumps from host to host and attempts to copy the host.
I think the most impressive thing about the movie is the cast. Most of the cast, even though pretty small cast, has been in other things I have seen or heard about. The computer chess program in the beginning certainly dates the movie.
For some of the movie it left things, like the look of the alien, to the imagination and it was a good way to go. I guess a lot of movies do that. Leaving things to the imagination is a good thing.
This seems like a B movie. I think it started off well but lost steam towards the end. When we saw what the alien looks like I think it took away something from the movie. It may be me but it seems a lot like Alien just set on Earth not in space.
Im rating this as a week C+. The movie starts off good then fades towards the end. If B movies are your thing watch it if not go ahead and just pass on it.
