Umibozu

1944 - During the War in the Pacific Theater in WWII, A speck of mysterious being suddenly became a big deal of the whole skeleton crew of USS Odyssey after a Submarine Chaser (Kusentei) boat called No.13 who almost took down their submarine. Due to that situation, they had to investigate the stranded IJN crews of No.13 and their own when the shapeshifting alien (or The Thing) start terrorizing them all before the rescue coming at them. Based on CinemaTyler's video about how the inner-working of The Thing's story would work as anthology by giving us an example with that clever essay he made. Go check him out.
