Buy The Thing from Another World on DVD

Howard Hawks only produced this classic scary sci-fi feature, but it has his signature touches all over it: overlapping dialogue, smooth storytelling, compressed time and space. A group of scientists and one newspaperman discover an ages-old flying saucer frozen in the ice at the North Pole. And something's inside.
