Description
The tie-in to the upcoming blockbuster prequel to John Carpenter's The Thing — the never before told story of the original doomed Norwegian expedition.
When a group of scientific researchers, isolated in Antarctica, stumble across an alien spaceship buried in the ice, it seems like an incredible opportunity.
The alien pilot can just be seen — a shadowy figure frozen just a short depth into the ice. It looks as though he survived the crash only to be flash-frozen on the Antarctic plateau.
The team fight the frozen conditions to free the ship from the ice — with disastrous consequences — and rescue the alien. As they transport the corpse, one of their greatest finds, out on the ice back to their camp, several scientists begin to experience extraordinary, vivid, and unsettling dreams. They're dismissed as the product of stress and the harsh conditions, but the nightmare is only beginning.
