A mid-century sci-fi horror about an alien creature terrorizing an isolated mountain observatory, blending pulp monster-movie thrills with Cold War anxieties and psychic intrigue.

A United Nations investigator crosses paths with a pair of psychic sisters on his way to Trollenberg observatory in the Swiss Alps, which has been plagued by a series of mountaineer disappearances that may be related to a radioactive cloud at the mountain's south face.
