      One of my all time favorite movies. The log gives away just enough, but fails to reveal the isolation that made this movie one of the most chilling tales ever put on screen.

      Well, here’s my attempt:

      When an alien species able to transmorgify into anything it kills attacks a remote Antarctic research station, the scientists must find out who’s still human in order to survive.

      Yeah, I know, I know. ?The logline doesn’t single out a protagonist. ?I’ve never seen it, so I’m guessing that it’s primarily an ensemble piece. ?The ?plot is not about the struggle of one particular individual to survive, but the struggle of any one to survive.

      And the hook of the story is the nature of the alien and the particular predicament it poses for the humans. ?That is, in order to survive the cast of characters must figure out who is human and who is an alien in disguise.

      fwiw
