80's movies and time

Rating: 10/10 (15 September 2004)

To see this movie in this day and age, most think that "The Thing" is a horrible movie. I myself believe quite the opposite. We should relic the movies before computer generated animation. Movies like "The Thing" and "Alien" or even "Killer Klowns from Outer space". Each of those movies, while they may not be the most popular movies, is a relic and a tribute to times when a monster required work and time outside a computer screen. Sure there is a small amount of computer help in "The thing" but the monster and all the scenes in that movie are genuine in the fact that a real place was involved in either the in studio filming or the on location shots. Lets not think of this movie as old and outdated, lets think of it as a true horror movie that was designed to scare you not to make you ooh and ahh at the monster (Even though the monster in "The Thing" is one of the best movie monsters ever both visually and in pure horror
