About
A research team in Antarctica is hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of its victims.
Paranoia replaces traditional jump scares as a shape-shifting organism turns a remote research station into a landscape of total mistrust. Practical effects push biology to its most grotesque limits, making every sudden transformation feel visceral and disturbingly real.
