In what may be the most expressive use of practical special effects technology in a horror film, John Carpenter, and effects guru Rob Bottin have created an unforgettably visceral and effective scare machine of a film about a shape-changing alien invader whose first casualties on Earth are the inhabitants of a polar research station.

Guest programmer Huma Bhabha’s artwork has taken many cues from the multifaceted latex terrors created for this film.
