All the good films have simple names

Rating: Null/10 (21 March 2003)

Think about it, Alien, excellent film and the title doesnt call it 'a creature that ....', but tells u its an alien, which we learn next to nothing about it (with the odd exception), from this, John Carpenters 'The Thing' follows alien.
******* SPOILERS WITHIN *********
The plot is simple, and is based on a short story, and a 1950's film, Thing from another planet. An alien infiltrates a US artic base in the guise of a dog, this alien kills its victim and the Changes its form to that of its victim. This then leads the cast to suspect everyone, who can they trust. A series of deaths lead to the most suspenceful scene, when they all take a blood test.
Like i said earlier, keeping it simple like the little knowledge of the alien (a name, where it came from and what it looks like in its true form) which leads creates a massive atmosphere filled with fear and paranoia which leaves you guessing until the very end.
This is a film which you will return to watch for a long time to come, and the ending will leave you guessing all the time.
