Overview
A group of grad students have booked passage on the fishing trawler Harbinger to study the effects of global warming on a pod of Orcas in the Bering Sea. When the ship’s crew dredges up a recently thawed piece of old Soviet space wreckage, things get downright deadly. It seems that the Russians experimented with tardigrades, tiny resilient animals able to withstand the extremes of space radiation. The creatures survived, but not without mutation. Now the crew is exposed to aggressively mutating organisms. And after being locked in ice for 3 decades, the creatures aren’t about to give up the warmth of human companionship.

Viewing Notes
Not a perfect movie by any means but still a really fun watch. The practical creature FX are great and there’s actually character development so you start to care about the crew of the Harbinger. The love for Carpenter’s The Thing is apparent but doesn’t overwhelm. Also has a few homages to Alien.
