I love this movie so much

i must have seen a different film!!

A Masterpiece!

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

I didn't mind this movie, despite the negative reviews elsewhere.It's not for everyone, I'll agree with that.3 British soldiers are posted to a wire-listening post in the Arctic, and as nothing much happens boredom and madness are never far away.A psychotropic weapon is dropped nearby, and the men (in particular Grant) start showing aberrant behaviour.He suffers from the handy-Andies, which many psychotics do, as it is a massive mental & tension relief process used by psychopaths as well.The story revolves around how each of the three men, and the class system from they came, recognise and deal with the mind-altering substance that eventually controls their every waking moment.This film requires a working knowledge of the British class-system, WW1, Korea and Vietnam psy-ops, and a smattering of modern military history, as well as a working knowledge of abnormal psychology.Although I wouldn't add it to my collection, I did enjoy watching Outpost 11 and how "the madness" crept further into the daily operations of Outpost 11.

This is an "arthouse picture" from another alternate universe with the feel of a 3 man play. Hard to get through, and I can not promise you will feel at all satisfied if you do, but in the end it is a neat little experience of something new, and that is all that really matters. You need to really suspend your disbelief to get through to the pay off, but there really is a great story under the confusion. These actors, and the crew had to make this tiny speck of a set feel like the entire world, and they do a fine job of accomplishing that. In this new version of our universe it really looks like we have come in just a bit late to the party, all of the characters seem so certain in their beliefs that there had to have been a great cataclysm that we just missed, and they never quite touch on that. The naked lunch effect may be just what you need though. Enjoy.

I enjoyed this movie more than I thought I would. The cinematography is slow, steady and sometimes a bit too unimaginative. Meaning that it is something we have seen many times before. This is not an action flick or a classic sci-fi movie. The idea of steampowered alternate past is enticing. But it seems to do very little for the actual story.The only thing I could not let go was the fact that they slept at night and worked in the daylight. The arctic circle does not work that way! It is not a 24 hour cycle. But apart from that, a quiet movie leaving you a few thoughts for a few days.

***spoiler alert*** This is by far the worst movie i have ever seen. I am appalled that anybody can compare this movie to john carpenters "the thing" the only resemblance it posses to that movie is where its based. I usually enjoy a low budget movie with obvious exceptions, but i am afraid the plot, acting, dialogue, fx, were just terrible. {COMPLETELY UNWATCHABLE}all in all I could make a better movie myself by filming a steaming pile of poo on the floor and still capture the audience and get a better reception.rubbish
