A Cold Night's Death (1973 TV Movie)
6/10
Creepy - and reminiscent of something else...

Warning: Spoilers
Another oddball TV horror flick from the 1970s, long forgotten but worth hunting down for fans. This one's about researchers travelling by helicopter to a remote snowbound institute and finding themselves succumbing to claustrophobia and turning on one another as they begin to believe that something non-human is in the institute with them. You might think you're watching THE THING and there are indeed certain parallels, although Carpenter's film is more cinematic and bigger scale and also a hundred times better. But A COLD NIGHT'S DEATH is still worth a look thanks to some creepy atmosphere, a decent twist ending, and good acting from the well-chosen Robert Culp and Eli Wallach.
