A prequel to the classic John Carpenter film of the same name. That movie starred Kurt Russell. I have no idea who the director or actors were in this one. (I mean, I do because I checked Wiki, but I'd never heard of them before and don't really care about them now.)
The story: People find an alien frozen in the ice in the arctic. Turns out it is still alive and it begins grabbing people and turning into them. They have to figure out who is human and who is alien as they try to survive.
Was it good?
Depends. The story is basically a mediocre telling of the exact same story from the original. If you've seen the o- there's no reason to watch this. It's the same movie, just with a few bigger scenes and a bunch of sillier stuff. If you haven't seen the Carpenter film, then it might be worth watching.
Still, by staying close to the original they are staying close to a formula that works and there are a few scenes with some genuine tension. It was worth a cheap rental, and a genuine if you didn't see the original.
