Story

An isolated research station in Antarctica becomes ground zero for terror when the team discovers they're not alone. A mysterious extraterrestrial visitor can perfectly mimic any living creature it encounters, making it impossible to know who—or what—stands beside you. As paranoia spreads through the group, survival depends on uncovering the imposter before it's too late.

Why watch
