It's much too easy to make the comparison with 1951's "The Thing From Another World" and the John Carpenter remake from 1982 simply titled "The Thing". It's also easy to grasp that this film is not in the same league as its predecessors. Although a '3.1' IMDb rating is probably a little harsh coming from viewers who most likely saw one of the earlier pictures and felt betrayed by the obvious ripoff. For a horror film there aren't very many scary moments, and the 'blood' referenced in the title isn't very prominent other than an opening scene to set up the presence of an alien entity about to infiltrate a scientific station in the Arctic. The red eyes of the infected Marie (Anne-Carolyne Binette) was a nice touch, and lent a creepy vibe to her statement that she was 'the first of many', but the whole thing just oozed with the familiarity that comes from watching a boat load of these types of pictures and thus offering nothing original. Attempting to tease a surprise ending after the initial threat was eliminated, the writers simply used the tried and true formula of passing the alien on to the next person. Or was it the dog? Chances are it was both, but by that time, who cares?

"Blood and Snow" attempts to revisit the classic plot of a polar research station besieged by a malevolent force. A very short attempt at copying "The Thing from Another World" (1951) and its successors, "The Thing" (1982) and the 2011 prequel. Sadly, this rendition falls short, offering little more than a pale imitation of its predecessors. The film struggles with poor craftsmanship evident in its direction, acting, and overall execution. Unlike its predecessors, which managed to evoke genuine terror and suspense, "Blood and Snow" fails to capitalize on its potentially gripping premise. The only distinguishing factor seems to be its updated title, which initially piqued curiosity but ultimately failed to deliver anything innovative or compelling. In comparison, the original 1951 film remains the standout, capturing a sense of palpable fear and delivering dramatic sequences that stand the test of time. Waste of time for a Sataurday after lunch.

What in the organism was this? The movie stanked, it was a bore without an original thought. No blood, no special effects, no suspense, and the actors were so wooden. Especially the female E. T. lead. I watched because I am a fan of horror movies, but i was disappointed and felt like I was missing something. Vernon Wells should have turned down his role in this sorry Science fiction film. A waste of time was spent watching this mess, do y'all self a favor and skip this turkey. Watching paint dry would be more of a thrill. Hollywood needs to come out with more original and better films. Trust me, ugh.

The abrupt ending of the film brings zero conclusions for the viewer. Worth poor acting and a crap story line, this film is nothing like "The Thing" Og or remake. I luteal feel like I lost 93 minutes of my life that I can never get back again. There was potential but I am left with the following questions: Was the budget suddenly cut? Did someone lose the rest of the film? The most entertaining thing about this film was the ice cream I ate while it was playing. If it hadn't been for my mobile phone and gaming apps, I would really be ticked off as the movie ends. If this is a set up for a sequel, I can assure you...I won't be watching it.
