my family watched this and the shining back to back in the middle of the night at the start of winter, and i gotta say there's no other way to experience either of them. the practical effects, the creeping score, the terrifying claustrophobia and paranoia associated with the thought of an inescapable, chameleon like threat? no better pick for family movie night! read

i have not watched many john carpenter movies but he is fast becoming one of my favorite director, all the hype around it was real and now i want to watch halloween as soon as possible. im not a huge fan of cgi esp. bec of the excessive use these days, this movie proves even to this day that practical effects done right can be as effective if not more. the remarkable suspense and atmosphere added with thrilling paranoia and claustrophobia made it a treat. most of the cast were incredible and the scores made it an absolute gem. 8.5/10 read

there have been several academic studies done trying to figure out why the thing was critically panned when it first released. the conclusions were that those critics were some goof ass muthafuckas. this is a masterclass of horror and still frightening to this day. it will never age. read

some of the best effects ever with a few tense scenes but not much else... it really is a testament to how good the make-up is when for the past couple of years, i've heard nothing about how revolutionary this film is, and it's still able to leave me in awe while watching. there's not a single moment where you doubt the ridiculous creature moments and events unfolding due to such a realistic, gruesome job done by phyllis newman and ken chase. with the idea that the monster shape-shifts into whatever it kills, there's moments throughout the film where the members within the crew doubt each read

ever since i first saw john carpenter's the thing, at a very young age, i was obsessed. i loved it. bare in mind this is on cable television, in the early 90's where you have tons of commercials, 90% of the gore cut out, 40% of the picture missing and a mildy reedited storyline. i have now seen the thing more times than i can remember and watching it again now i was just as excited, the last time being only three months ago... and that still feels like too long. i just can't get enough of this movie. and the reason is because this is a perfect film. it is not only john carpenter's best movie... read

Finally ended up seeing this movie that many seem to rate as one of the best horror movies. I thought it was fairly average interesting story but hardly any creature action for the run time of just under 2 hours. Was cool effects when u did see "the thing" but other than that really slow moving with a whole bunch of talking and figuring out who might have been infected or not. read

horror x52 (2018) rewatch watched this on arrow blu-ray. those arrow guys really outdid themselves with this release. video is really crisp, and there are a ton of features. amazing movie. it's just so damn good visually, dean cundey did a great job shooting this. quite possibly the best practical effects ever, yet somehow the academy awards didn't even nominate this for best visual effects. fuck the oscars! i love kurt russell in just about everything he does, and he's great here while sporting glorious hair and beard. the only issues i have are little cuts here and there, otherwise... read

i got the shout! factory collector's edition blu-ray the other day. it's a belated double-dip, but one that i should've bought a lot sooner. i finally popped it in tonight, and it reaffirmed what i've known since the first time i saw it: the thing is just a perfect movie. like alien. it's not the perfect movie, but it's a perfect example of the sterling and bloody heights the genre can achieve. i have literally no complaints about this movie, ergo... it is perfect. the special effects hold up spectacularly, and are still hard to look at while downing food of any variety. the score is simple,... read

(reseña en español más abajo) suppose you are at this base in antarctica. just like in the movie, everything happens: the dog arrives, assimilates the others, and little by little the paranoia infects the whole crew faster than the alien itself. what would you do? personally, no idea, among us never prepared me for this, despite the notable influences the movie has on the game. part of the immense power the film wields is that, somewhat ironically, it's a very human story. the way everyone acts, and how slowly everyone evolves as the threat grows, for the better but mostly for the worse, it's... read

How did I forget just how good this film is? Not that I thought it was bad,but I just kind of forgot how much I enjoyed it. The creatures in this film are just so fantastic. Everything about this film is pretty great honestly. The atmosphere of everything going on is just eerie. No matter how old this film is, the practical effects they used will always hold up. Especially over any shitty CGI. The creatures sometimes do look a tiny bit goofy, but overall they are just so well made. They are super creepy especially with all the slime. This is one of those films that just reminds me of why I... read

Day 31st of HoopTober (also Happy Halloween): This movie has been in my nightmares ever since I have seen it back when I was 6 (It wasn't my Mom's fault it was my fault for forcing her for letting me see it at such a young age), anyway still fantastic and haunting as ever. read

My quick rating - 8;6/10. To take a flick from 1951 "The Thing from Another Planet" which in its time and still a classic; and actually improve; drastically on it is a tall feat. But John Carpenter did just that with this 1982 piece of gold. The story is simple; an Arctic expedition team happens across an alien ship and inadvertently releases it. Of course you don't really know what the Thing is since it mimics the host. To say this movie is simple though would be an outright lie. This movie transcended an entire generation of movies to follow it. This took the creature creation to an read

The film is terrific on many levels. It works as your straight monster or action type film, as a horror/sci-fi and also as a very intriguing look into the human psyche. The incredible sense of paranoia, mistrust and fear, lent not only by Carpenter's direction (which is stunning) but also by the incredible acting of the cast in general. Kurt Russell (obviously) is spectacularly understated in the lead role of MacReady, and, as a direct result he "feels" like a real person, rather than a hollywood "all american hero". The other cast members all carry off their roles with style, and the net read

Se non fosse stato per gli effetti favolosi che sono presenti in questo film, avrei messo sicuramente 3/5. In fondo la trama del film è ridotta all'osso. Solo gli effetti speciali trainano su un carretto tutta la trama del film (stupida). Però essendo un film vecchiotto ci sta anche!
Tutto sommato lo consiglio a tutti gli amanti del body horror! read

3.5星。一部道具做工精细恶心扭曲程度不亚于异形的惊悚科幻片,一分为二脸让人啧啧称奇过目不忘;其实既然主角没验血,完全可以在偏后段的时候来个反转,在八十年代也算是反类型片了。得撑过前半段才好看。 read

John Carpenter's The Thing remains a chilling classic, weaving a tale of Antarctic researchers confronting a shape-shifting alien. The film opens with a gripping sequence, as a dog races across the snow, setting an ominous tone. Kurt Russell shines as the alcoholic pilot RJ MacReady, adding grit to the narrative. While the practical effects may show their age, the film's impact endures. The Thing is a near-perfect horror experience with a dark atmosphere, enhanced by Ennio Morricone's haunting score. Memorable scenes and a sustained sense of dread make it a timeless masterpiece. Despite the... read

One of my favorite horror movies! Though this time around, I'd say it's not necessarily a horror movie if the metric is "what makes me afraid". Watching The Thing felt more like a murder mystery who-done-it than anything else as you follow along with the characters and their actions. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat for its entire duration, the characters are all likable (to a point hah), and good glory the REAL FX and prop work... marvelous. Imagine where we would be today if humanity spent money on technologies to further FX rather than CGI... Anyway, this is a definite... read more Was this review helpful to you?

john carpenter se perde um pouco ao misturar horror e ficção científica. É difícil a conexão com todos aqueles personagens - masculinos, vale frisar! o suspense em torno de quais deles haviam sido "assimilados" pelo alienígena até é construído de forma satisfatória, mas o atrativo da obra é unicamente o body horror composto com muita classe pelos excelentes efeitos práticos de maquiagem, capazes de deixar muitos filmes atuais no chinelo. read
