Thing From Another World - 50th Anniversary Edition

Arctic researchers discover a huge, frozen spaceling inside a crash-landed UFO, then fight for their lives after the murderous being (a pre-´Gunsmoke´ James Arness) emerges from icy captivity. Will other creatures soon follow? The famed final words of this film are both warning andianswer: "Keep watching the skies!"

A snappy ensemble. An eerie theremin-infused Dimitri Tiomkin score. Rising suspense. Crisp Christian Nyby direction. All merge in an edgy classic produced by Howard Hawks (´Bringing Up Baby´, ´Rio Bravo´) and filled with Hawksian trademarks of rapid-fire dialogue and of people united by do-or-die stress. Keep watching the skies and the screen. Don´t miss a moment of "one of the best sci-fi thrillers of the ´50´s" (John Stanley, ´Creature Features´).
