Who goes there? A classic, of course!

Rating: 10/10 (8 March 2005)

Antartic; a dread desert of ice and snow. There aren't' much things (no pun) to do in such a place. Yeah sure, you can do some jazzy experiments-thingies and have fun with your fellow scientist. But after several days, the place gets pretty much boring and all. Now of course, a movie, a scary one, couldn't only rely on 12 isolated men in a giant freezer, that'd be rather dread and not-so-scary. Now here comes the big fat fun, a mysterious alien life-form decide to hop in and play a little game of ''Who's who?''.
The main thrill about this movie is having that ''thing'' as they call it imitate any living creature around. So guess what? humans too are copied and thingised. All in all, we are left with a crew of dazingly isolated scientists dealing with pretty much the worst nightmare any man (no woman here, sorry ladies) could be confronted with; can you thrust anyone in this wretched station? Am I the only human here? What If I am the Thing and I couldn't tell?
Mass paranoia, beautiful creature effects, frightening atmosphere; this movie is flawless. It is a established classic and shall live on remembered that way. I highly recommend it to every horror fans, you wont go unsatisfied. My rating; 10 out of bloody 10.
