Thing, The

USA 1982, 107 minutes
Dir. John Carpenter
Rating: [M]
Genres: Science Fiction, Horror / Invaders

Feat. Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley, Richard Dysart, Keith David, Richard Masur, Donald Moffat

Aroview: Kurt Russell headlines this remake of the 1951 film about an Antarctic outpost terrorized by an alien organism. Dir. John Carpenter cranks up the tension like he hasn't done before or since, and the gruesome effects come thick and heavy.

5 stars (Exceptional) This is one of the best sci-fi horror films ever, on the same level as "Alien". A totally frightening film that draws the viewer in, grabs them and doesn't let go until the end. Great film! ~Anon
