Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Micah Lloyd
Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

While studying the effects of global warming on a pod of whales, grad students on a crabbing vessel and it's crew uncovers a froze soviet space shuttle, and unintentionally releases a monstrous organism from it. Harbinger Down is unfortunately a rip-off of the great 'The Thing' but also lacks any actual excitement in general. Lance Henrisken is the only good and experienced actor in the film but even he is just pretty forgettable as a whole. The special effects were pretty good but everything else? Were horrible and just terrible as a whole. (0/10)

Have you seen John Carpenter's The Thing from 1984 and starring Kurt Russell? If so, then you've seen this film.This is almost an exact replica of that movie. Character names and the setting is different, but they're pretty much the same movie.That doesn't necessarily make this film bad, but because it's a copy of a more famous film, the natural tendency is to compare it to said film. That's where this movie fails. It doesn't capture the same atmosphere or mood. The acting isn't as good, and there are some logic problems with the plot.Still, if you're a horror fan you'll be entertained enough to make a viewing worthwhile. The cast does a decent job and it's still an interesting premise.

Loved it, the feel of 80s and 90s sci-fi horror done with REAL EFFECTS not a green screen in sight. The FX team put there skills that where over looked by the director when making the thing remake/prequel that opted for almost total CGI effects (the norm in Hollywood, sadly). Well there loss is our gain, this feels like its what that remake could of offered, some "critics/reviewers" bandy around the word "ripoff" i prefer the term "affectionate nod" as this film has a few nice little touches that some proper fans will see n smile fondly at. Ill leave saying this if you where a fan of 80s/90s horror be of big budget or "B-movie" and you appreciate the real effects that films of that era was built on and the talents behind the bog franchises then this is a fond, welcome long overdue return to those days.

Paying homage to "The Thing," this film was a whole lotta twisty, gnarly fun! The closed in spaces with some whacky lines ("We're going to need a bigger bucket!"), some thoroughly easy-to-hate characters and an icky, morphing creature, made "Harbinger Down" an enjoyable monster- fest. Despite the low star-rating, I watched this movie because of Lance Henriksen. He's awesome and did not disappointed. While some of the acting was cheesy, I felt like it was supposed to be. The heroine wasn't exactly impressive. In fact, I'd never seen her or any of the other actors in anything before. But whatever. The special effects were special in that old throwback monster mash kind of way and I had a ball.
