The Thing from Another World

"Something from Another World" (English: "The Thing from Another World") is a science fiction film based on John Campbell's short story "Who Goes There?".

In 2011, the film was included in the list of the most reliable science fiction films according to NASA. The film is also included by Stephen King in the list of the 100 most significant horror films from 1950 to 1980. In 2001, the film was included in the National Film Registry.

Captain Hendry from the US Air Force gets to the North Polar station, where a group of scientists reported the fall of a flying object. They think it could be a meteorite or a spaceship coming from another planet.

At the crash site, an object of a perfectly round shape, similar to a flying saucer, is found under the ice. In an attempt to get to the object, the military decides to melt the ice by detonating a "thermal bomb", but as a result they only completely destroy the ship.

In the thickness of the ice, they notice a human-like figure and decide that they have discovered an unearthly life form. Scientists cut out the ice with the alien's body and bring it to the station. Dr. Carrington, the leader of the scientific expedition, wants to start experiments on the creature. Captain Hendry, awaiting an order from a higher command, forbids touching him. But the piece of ice melts from the heat of the electric blanket, and the creature runs away.

People find one of the alien's hands in the snow, torn off by dogs. This hand contains no meat, no blood, no nerves. A green liquid, resembling juice, pours out of it. A completely drained dog is found in one of the rooms. Scientists understand that the alien is a giant vegetable that feeds on blood. In addition, the creature is able to reproduce very quickly. Dr. Carrington secretly conducts an experiment: he pours blood plasma on the seeds contained in the severed arm of the creature. They grow for several hours, and soon sounds similar to the cries of hungry babies begin to be heard from the sprouts.

Something is killing two scientists. The creature is wounded, locked in the greenhouse and barricaded the door. The military is beginning to wonder if the alien is a scout who arrived on Earth for the subsequent conquest of the planet by aliens. Perhaps the aliens intend to feed on the blood of earthly beings.

Captain Hendry decides to destroy the creature. At first, the military tries to pour gasoline on him, since the bullets do not harm him, but the alien manages to escape.

People decide to lure the creature into a trap. Dr. Carrington tries to make contact with the alien, but the creature throws him aside. Trapped, the alien is exposed to an electric current and dies.

UFO was recorded by cameras that are triggered when a certain value of the readings of a Geiger counter. In pictures it looks like a falling meteor, however, is unusual for them the trajectory of motion.

In a 50-mile radius around the UFO crash site discovered magnetic anomaly, deflection of the compass needle by 12 degrees. According to scientists, this effect could happen when a center area of 20 thousand tons of steel.

Himself a UFO, we do not see, because after the fall he melted the ice and fell under it. From under the ice sticks out only a part of the fuselage, according to the pilots, similar to the stabilizer. How can determine the shape of a UFO through a layer of ice, it is a perfect circle.

Formation, like a circle, is formed in the place of UFO crash, as a result of melting ice around the hull of the spacecraft.

An alien arrives on a spaceship that crashed near the North pole. It looks like a very tall, differing only by the claws on the fingers and growths in the head.

The alien has a completely alien physiology, occurring from the plant world rather than from the animal. In his body there is no animal tissue absent arterial structure and nerve endings. According to one of the scientists, it has a disjoint cellular structure inherent in the earth's vegetables. As the nutrient liquid stranger uses the blood of earthly creatures – dogs and people.

In the hands of an alien are "seed bags", which are the organs of reproduction. Seeds planted in the ground and watered with the blood, rapidly grow into the likeness of flowers with fruit, inside which sounds similar to the cry of a hungry baby.

The stranger does not harm the cold and deep freeze, bullets, fabric rips and other damage to the body. Severed hand he quickly grows again. To make him run is possible only pouring kerosene and lighting the black pools. Kill the alien obtained using a powerful electric discharge.

The arrival of the alien in the Land of the unknown, one can only assume that he was going to capture the planet, using warm-blooded creatures as a nutritious basis.
