a frightfest that will shock you

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2004)

the thing is a well assembled horror film its premise is original and it is genuinely scary. however the film failed at the box office partly due to the fact that e.t had came out just before the the thing was released and audences rejected bad alien and favoured the cute cuddly e.t. the story leads open interpretation ie who was infected first, when was blair infected and what happens to macready and childs. good show 97%
