Even George MacReady's usual sinister ways is not enough to save this 1950 film. Problem is that the character should have more developed to produce more vile behavior.
Film is predictable since you know that Agent John Hodiak, posing as a Hungarian with an authentic accent to break up a smuggling immigrant ring, shall fall for Hedy Lamarr, who is trying to gain entrance into the United States by any means.
Half-way into the film, MacReady becomes aware of who Hodiak really is and the film goes rapidly downhill from there.
Even the chase through the Florida swamp lands lacks the necessary excitement.
