This was great. I was born long, LONG after black and white, and i thoroughly enjoyed this, its a wonder so much of the famous films of the time are pure hilarious cheesy crap when compared to this. It has a lot more balls than house on haunted hill for example. A gem of the time.

Contrary to the 80's incarnation this has no 'mafia game' elimination format, and nobody actually dies. So as horror it feels more like a failed bear attack on a ski resort than the bedlam of paranoia in Carpenter's vision. As science fiction it has more to say (take the botanist's hardline on collective knowledge being worth individual sacrifice) but in doing so spouts some sketchy factoids (carnivorous plants only display reactive nervous systems, not patterns of thought). Ultimately obsolete.

Pretty good, but does suffer in the modern age with the fact that The Thing is way better. Also the alien in this is quite lame. I don't mind the biology of it and the story behind that, but it looked rather boring, like a knockoff Frankenstein.

There were some great special effects, especially for the 50s, but the alien just wasn't very menacing.

Apart from the fact that it seems to grudgingly admit that it can never make an intellectual super-carrot scary, this is actually quite good; there's a reason it's been used as the inspiration for countless other movies.

Wow those scientists were incompetent! Even I knew that using that thermite bomb was a silly idea. And leaving the heated blanket on top of the ice? What the hell? And that biologist is a bit of an idiot - for all he knows he might be putting the whole human race in danger. The witty banter wasn't that witty and the acting was weak. It held my attention well enough, and there's a couple nice (if a tad silly) ideas and an enjoyable whiff of cheese, but Carpenter's remake is so, so much better.

Considering the potential from the short story it's loosely based on and the (vastly superior) Carpenter remake 31 years later, this is a big disappointment. As a monster movie, it's fine. But it doesn't seem like it should be just any monster movie. It lacks the paranoia and claustrophobia that made the others work. It's not entirely fair to judge it in comparison, but even still there is a lot here that doesn't work from the horribly drawn characters to a drab love story. Still entertaining

how optimistic this is next to how pessimistic carpenter's remake is is kinda fascinating. also, it's just a really good creature feature with an unusually high degree of suspense.
