2 star rating THE Screened Review by Alex Navarro

This prequel/remake lacks the looming dread and phenomenally creepy visual effects of its predecessor, but it's not without moments of terror.
GB review user review
Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. director

A prequel of the 1982 John Carpenter horror classic and based on the book "Who Goes There?", an arctic team fights an alien which can transform itself into any biotic organism.
Quote: Sam Carter

Kate Lloyd

Do you think that's a really good idea?

Sam Carter

Yes I do.
