The 1982 sci-fi chiller follows a gaggle of scientists who additionally pitch up at a distant Antarctic analysis base, earlier than an unseen and lethal enemy assimilates them one after the other, forcing the dwindling band of survivors right into a determined battle for his or her lives. In fact, the possibilities that one of many Riquelme outpost’s workers members will flip right into a hideous disembodied head that grows spider legs are hopefully slim to none, however we all know higher than to rule something out given the occasions of the final ten or so months.
Unsurprisingly, a whole lot of people are calling for Kurt Russell to be parachuted in to avoid wasting the day, however Blumhouse maintain the rights and are at present engaged on one other reboot of The Thing, and the actor might be too busy with the way more healthful function of Santa Claus anyway.
