Bad movie watching continues unabated with The Thing from Another World, a 1954 sci-fi (no, really?) in which an alien spacecraft crashes in the Arctic and a reanimated alien terrorises a rather unperturbed set of scientists and military men. IMDB gives this film a 7.4, although many parts of it are laughably bad by today's standards. The stand-out
