the strenght in The Thing is the excellent casting, well used crazy special creature effects, and a fantastic film score..

Can you believe i still havent seen thisone? I have seen the original, and it's like watching paint dry.

You MUST see it as soon as possible!

WTF ?


you have been cheating yourself out of one of the best movies in 2 genres ..

it should be your next purchase (dont bother to rent it - just buy it)

Ive wanted to see it. i love the "proteus" monster concept. its gotta be better than phantoms...

plus, ANYTHING has to bebetter than the man-plant with thorns on his knuckles.. it was even bad for the time....

Vod. What the fuck are you still doing here? Go watch The Thing! I am shocked!

Yeah, it's a favorite of mine.
Carpenter is a master of suspense.

Sheer Classic
 

I love this film & the ending is too cool for words. Way Way ahead of its time.

sad that it was just mis-timed. it came out only a few months after ET and the general mood of the country was not receptive to a nihilistic splatter fest. carpenter says this film basically ended his major studio career. . . sad
