At an isolated Antarctic research station, a team encounters a shape-shifting alien capable of copying its victims. As fear spreads through the base, the researchers must confront a threat that could be hiding among them while struggling to survive the frozen wilderness.
You’ll like this if you enjoy slow-building sci-fi horror, isolated settings, grotesque creature effects, and distrustful group dynamics, especially in films like Alien: Romulus; Not for you if graphic horror or patient pacing bothers you.
