To the Deeper Thoughts!
Well, the summary pretty much covers the whole movie. One quiet day, a helicopter carrying some Norwegian's is seen chasing down a dog. The helicopter lands, peoples get shot, and the dog is rescued by the American team.
And then all hell breaks loose.
Turns out the dog is a carrier for an alien being that can imitate its victims perfectly, making it hard to identify just whom has been replaced.
No spoiler here. Everyone dies. None well. Shootings, roastings, being eaten by said alien, and freezing to death are all employed here as means to dispatch the American crew.
I liked this. The effects, while dated, were still pretty awesome. Absolutely worth a watch.
