The film was made at the beginning of the Cold War and it shows when you have a little knowledge of history. Despite, or perhaps because he is one of the best films that exist at all for me. Have for the first time in (West) saw him in 1973 as a 15-year-old East German students television and was excited reinweg. Sure, the tricks seem a little bland by today's standards, but that does not detract from the voltage at all. With very little equipment, but an ingenious dramaturgy (just the music sequences specifically used can shivers down your spine) to increase the voltage to a showdown in the basement of the polar station, where the monster comes to an end by the electric current. The film is highly recommended! However, anyone who is on a lot of action and carnage from, but is likely to be disappointed. This film should have a look consistently from beginning to end. I think he is not a contribution in today's commercial television. The commercial breaks were almost shattered the tension.
