I thought we'd seen enough alien ripoff movies and along comes another atempt. This time from the Sci-Channel starring non other than genre fave Bruce Cambell. The film starts off in similar fasion to the old Twilight Zone episode "Will The Real Matian Please Stand Up." Cambell plays a convicted murderer on the way to the charir when he stranded with other travelers at a snowed in airport. And if your familiar with type of picture this is when the killing starts. Some being alien, others being human. The fun I suppose is figuring out who. After this intersting setup the film like so many before it turns into an Alien/The Thing routine chase movie. Near the end the film trys to add some depth to the alien species with a "Feasibility Study" style expalation for their species hostilities. To the films credit the story rolls along at a fast pace and the characters are servicable. Ok if you dont have anything better to do.
