La cosa del otro mundo

Arctic Circle. Winter. A dog’s howl. An Air Force crew and a team of scientists discover a mysterious spacecraft embedded in the ice. Thawing the alien pilot revives a terrifying plant-based lifeform with a hunger for blood. A key Cold War sci-fi parable, minus any comforting answers.
