The Thing

Directed by John Carpenter

A terrifying, gruesome, and absolutely chilling remake of "The Thing from Outer space" that boasts some of the most impressive and amazingly gory special effects ever put into a horror film. It all begins when scientists at an arctic research station discover an alien spacecraft under the thick ice and thaw out the alien body found aboard. What they don't know is that the alien can assume any human form, and before long the scientists can't tell who's real and who's a deadly alien threat. Kurt Russell leads the battle against the terrifying intruder, and the supporting cast includes Richard Masur, Richard Dysart, Donald Moffat, and Wilford Brimley. Master of horror John Carpenter directs. So go ahead and watch it.. if you dare!

I finally got to see the entire movie. It must have been a real banger when it came out. The special effects are still cool even though they’re old hat by now. Way better than a large carrot! The feeling of isolation and paranoia shine through. Great acting by the entire cast, including the dogs. The only criticism I have is the slow pacing. It interferes with the pacing. Glad I watched it! Thanks, Shudder!
