A great late-night television movie, which was probably ABC Movie of the Week back in 1973!

Notice the acting here

-minimilistic and realistic,

as is the dialogue.

And notice the actors

-middle aged, fairly ordinairy looking men.

a Pool table... I was just thinking how important they are. The comonly best passtime in even the most hellish of places, even Hell itself. I think every establishment, home, retiirement or otherwise should be required(by the government's expense) to have a pool table complete with all impliments of the game.

Hey, Monster4Josh: I never expected to see a "3:30 Movie" tag here. By any chance, please, from what city and ABC affiliate was this recorded? Thanks, bro'.

@wheelinthesky300 Yes - that was the great thing about older TV and movies - believable actors, before Hollywood became obsesses with boy-men.

What makes it so creepy IS the isolation. I would be so on edge with all that solitude. You can't escape it, almost a prisoner to your mind and physically as well. Your sense are heightened almost to the point of supra-cognitive explosion. The adrenaline is constantly pumping and flowing. The anxiety just builds and builds. Next comes the paranoia. Your fears take the embodiment of the few others trapped with you. And then reality slips away along with objective perception. No thank you.

Why were they studying primates in the arctic, again? Something to do with outer space?

Such a good thriller.Seems like every scene is spooky.

[wheelinthesky300]

There is definitley similarities in

setting, atmoshpere and execution to both versions of "The Thing".

Isolated places are far scarier those brimming with human beings.

We don't see that kind of set-up in films these days.
