It also has a lot of similar scenery, only in black and white format, and the story is taking place up in Alaska, instead of the Antarctic. It is currently steaming for free on TubiTV, and is highly recommended that those with accounts check that one out soon if they are into John Carpenter's version and/or its prequel from 2011. Those who like Carpenter's version and its prequel should definitely find the original black and white version worth a look, at the very least

I recently saw it on Tubi. Good stuff.
