Space invasion in Lapland

Senseless Swedish-American science fiction about a hairy monster from outer space that runs amok among Sami people and researchers in Lapland, watched over by pale aliens in anoraks!

A UFO crashes in wintry Lapland. American and Swedish scientists head north to investigate. Dr. Wilson's beautiful daughter Diane showers and skates, until she is kidnapped by a six-meter furry beast that has torn apart the Sami reindeer. Meanwhile, aliens sit in their ship and monitor the events on monitors. With torches, knives and spears, the Sami counterattack. And at the ski hotel, Brita Borg sings Midnight Sun Lament to the tune of Ack, Värmeland du sköna.

The film has been digitally restored by the Swedish Film Institute.
