1、Today it’s still one of the best horror films

9星 短評：直到今天仍然是最出色的恐怖片之一

Antarctica, winter 1982. The team on an American research base get surprised by a couple of mad Norwegians who is chasing a dog with a helicopter, trying to kill it. All the Norwegians are killed and the Americans are left with nothing, but a dog, a couple of bodies and questions. That’s the beginning of the greatest horror/thriller film I’ve ever seen.

那是1982年冬天的南極洲。美國研究基地裏的一羣人，被兩個開着直升飛機追殺一條狗的挪威人給驚到了。所有的挪威人都被殺掉了，除了那條狗、幾具屍體和一堆謎題，什麼也沒有留給這些美國人。這就是我迄今看過的最偉大的恐怖/驚悚片的開頭。

From the very beginning all to the end you feel the tense, paranoid mood. Helpless and alone out in no-mans land. Ennio Morricone was nominated for a Razzie Award for his score. Why I don’t know ‘cause as far as I can see his score is simple, creepy and very good. It really gets you in the right mood.

從開頭一路到結尾，你都會陷在這種緊張和疑神疑鬼的心情裏。是孤懸於無人區的那種無助和孤獨。埃尼奧·莫里康內憑藉本片被提名了金酸莓最差配樂獎。我都不知道有這事兒因為在我看來，他的配樂簡潔、駭人且非常傳神。真的能把你拉進恰如其分的心境裏。

（譯註：埃尼奧·莫里康內（Ennio Morricone，1928年11月10日-2020年7月6日），出生於羅馬，意大利電影配樂大師，曾為《西西里的美麗傳説》、《美國往事》、《海上鋼琴師》等電影製作配樂）

The acting is great! The best performance is probably given by the dog who’s just amazing. As for Russell and the others on two legs I can say nothing less.

演員的演繹特別棒！最為上佳的表演可能是那條狗奉獻的，簡直妙級了。至於拉塞爾和其他兩隻腳的，也完全不遜於前者。

You may think 1982 and special effects are not the most impressive? Well, think again! You haven’t seen it all until you’ve seen this. Bodyparts falling off and creatures changing forms… Rob Bottin has done a great job witch today stands as a milestone is special effects makeup.

你可能會覺得1982年的特效不會很震撼？好吧，你得再想想了！在你看完這部片子後才會明白實情。身體部件掉落，以及各種生物改變形態什麼的…羅伯·博坦的手藝非常出色，從今天看，堪稱特效化妝的里程碑。

The movie didn’t get a big response when it first hit the big s creen due to other alien films at the time and so it’s not very well known. In fact you can almost consider it an unknown movie. Nobody I’ve asked have heard of it. However the movie has managed to survive for over twenty years as a cult film on video and DVD. Twenty years is a long time and except for the haircut the movie is still pretty much up to date. This movie is to be considered a classic.

由於當時存在其他的外星人電影，該片上映時並沒有引起很大反響，所以它並不太出名。事實上，你差不多可以把它看成一部不為人所知的電影。我問過的人裏，聽説過它的一個也沒有。然而，該片作為一部邪典電影，以錄像帶和DVD的形式堅挺了二十多年。二十年是一段很長的時間，除去演員們的髮型，該片仍不算過時。該片會被奉為一部經典之作。

The movie is without doubt one of my, if not my favorite. I’ve seen it several times, but it’s just as good as the first time I saw it. As a Norwegian the only thing I don’t like about this movie is that MacReady keeps calling the Norwegians swedes!

毫無疑問，該片是我的最愛之一（如果不是最愛的話）。已經看過好幾遍了，但總是和我第一次看的時候一樣出彩。作為一個挪威人，我對這部片子的唯一不滿就是，麥奎迪（片中男主角的名字）一直把那些挪威人説成瑞典人！

2、Finally getting recognition.

10星 短評：終於得到認可了

I am ashamed to say it, but I have to admit, the first time I saw this film was only about a year ago. After seeing it, I immediately rushed out and bought the DVD collectors’ edition and have watched it many times since.

説起來羞愧，但我不得不承認，我第一次觀看本片也就是一年前的事。看完後，我立刻跑出去買來了典藏版的DVD，自那以後就看了很多遍。

The film is terrific on many levels. It works as your straight monster or action type film, as a horror/sci-fi and also as a very intriguing look into the human psyche. The incredible sense of paranoia, mistrust and fear, lent not only by Carpenter’s direction (which is stunning) but also by the incredible acting of the cast in general. Kurt Russell (obviously) is spectacularly understated in the lead role of MacReady, and, as a direct result he “feels” like a real person, rather than a hollywood “all american hero”. The other cast members all carry off their roles with style, and the net result is an intensely believable atmosphere, and a truly fantastic film.

該片在很多層面都很了不起。作為怪獸/動作類電影是成立的，作為一部恐怖/科幻片也很過硬，而作為對人類心靈的一次引人入勝的探討也是很成功的。那種不可思議的疑神疑鬼、不信任和恐懼感，不僅是卡朋特的導演（可是極好的）給到我們的，也是所有演員陣容出神入化的演繹帶來的。出演主角麥奎迪的庫爾特·拉塞爾（顯然）被嚴重低估了，那麼直接的後果就是：他給人的“觀感”就像一個真實的人，而不是一個好萊塢式的“全美英雄”。其他演員全都以獨特的風格成功拿下了自己的角色，那麼最終拿出的成果就是一種極為可信的氣氛，以及一部真正出色的電影。
