This film seems to be a film about some sort of invasion and there is an animal person, but not people. What it really seems like though, is a film about flying in airplanes over mountains and skiing the countryside while guys occasionally talk on radios. We get aliens that do nothing but monitor and then terrorize a girl and we even get John Carradine in a both acting like a science and saying science like stuff. We get very little monster action though as the film is way more interested in showing planes and skiing.
The story starts out with Carradine talking before moving to a scene that seems to have little to do with the rest of the film. A woman running scared from her home as strange sounds penetrate our ears! Then we move to another country as a meteor crashes and a woman strands a guy on a ski run and she will later abandon him as the monster shows up a little over halfway through the film. Dogs bark! People flee and the monster inexplicably changes sizes sometimes seeming like a really tall person and at other looking taller than the ski cabins.
The film is not good as it is such a mishmash of different things. I have no idea why or what the scene from the beginning was. It may have made sense if it happened after what happened in this film. The aliens seemed pointless as they are never explored as it seems you could of just had the monster without them being present. And why did that woman insist on coming along every time? Heck, why do the women insist on coming along in every horror movie. If I was told wait right here in the confines of the safest place around while we chase the blood curdling monster of death I would be like 'sure'.
So, not a very good film unless seeing people do a lot of flying in the mountains and skiing through the countryside excites you. It does not me and when they really ramp up the excitement we are watching guys on radios constantly call out to no one and then have a long discussion of what could be the reasoning of the people not responding. At times in the flick we even get a monster appearance or two before they have to dial it back and go to skiing again because we cannot have too much excitement upon the screen!
