Sometimes reputed as the sequel to 'The Thing', and most certainly much suggests this after viewing, but as I can't substantiate this, I will say at the very least it's a seminal followup.
Things start out well, with three American friends on a road trip to Spain, when some weird goings on starts to take place. The scenic photography here is nicely shot, and adds an interesting flavour to the proceedings. For the first half, the film doesn't take itself too seriously, and there are a lot of very funny moments, thanks to the sharp script, and appealing leads. However, In stark contrast to this, later the film metamorphoses in tone, and turns somewhat sombrely, with gruesome make-up effects, shock tactics, and so on.
I admit, I quite like this flick, and have revisited it several times. But, in my opinion, the inconsistent tone stops it from being great, as this is genuinely entertaining initially, but when the horror cliché's kick in, your interest wains, and things ultimately get a bit, well, dull. Still, remains worthwhile viewing.
