The Best Sci-Fi Horror Movie Ever Made

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2011)

Aliens is a close second, but this movie rocks. Bottin's effects are incredible and the acting and story are all first class. This IS Carpenter's best horror flick. If you think you are a horror movie freak and haven't seen this movie, then you don't know what you are talking about.
This movie has some staying power and to date is still one of the best all time. Russell plays R.J. MacReady a helicopter pilot for a US naval/scientific outpost in Antartica. The film was actually made in Alaska so you feel as though you are seeing an authentically made set here. If you can watch the DVD Special Edition it gives you all the back story to making the film itself. There are however a few unanswered questions that you will just have to speculate about.
SEE IT, and enjoy!
