This is from the late 50s, shot partially

This is from the late 50s, shot partially in Sweden with Swedish extras, a monster that looks like a pile of rugs and characters you don't really care about. It has its moments, but it is not a fun movie, not is it tense or scary by any means. It is typical post-war horror, set in a snowy landscape that Hollywood had not explored a lot at that point. Give it a miss, unless you are a local.

Silly American/Swedish coproduction

The story in this film is that somewhere in Sweden there is a meteor crash. Only it's not a meteor, it's a space ship. And it has some sort of alien animal in it, probably called Laika. Hapless "investigators" of the meteor, together with a ridiculously good looking girl (her acting is equally ridiculous at times), come into conflict with the animal. The end is reminiscent of Frankenstein.I can't say I didn't enjoy the film. It has some sort of flirting going on between sexy American girl and manly Swedish skier, a funny looking alien animal and some scenes that were really hilarious, like the one where the aliens appear and each one has a separate eerie tone associated with their appearance on the screen.Bottom line: not completely awful, but quite a waste of time.

Yes rather silly except for...

The other reviewers have pretty much summed up this sci-fi snow fest but I just have to mention a couple things - the overall cinematography isn't all that bad and I have to say some of the special effects took some effort. I especially am intrigued by the landing of the meteor/space ship at the beginning - the part where it skids in through the snow and buries itself in the mountain side. It is a pretty well done 5-10 seconds of the film, obviously a miniature of some kind and surprisingly well done compared to the rest of the film's mostly mediocre FX.
