some masterpiece pops out in the 80s

Rating: 9/10 (3 October 2013)

the only words that pops in my head after seeing this is sci-fi and horror, and of course, the thing. This is probably my favourite horror film. why? because I think the idea is simply genius. A bunch of men going somewhere in Antarctica and some creature just randomly appears in the base. OK, starting like this doesn't make that movie look any good, but the rest of the film is just so powerful. The screenplay, the actors, the plot, the intrigue, the fact that we always want to know what will happen next...all those elements make this film a true masterpiece. Why, why in hell most of the recent horror films just don't get even close to this and just keep being bad? I'm actually watching the remake of The Thing. I'm about half of it and think it's pretty good but my guess is that it's not gonna be better than the original. Plus, I find the character that Kurt Russell plays very interesting. And by the way I find this actor very flexible in his roles. Very good actor. The Thing, by John Carpenter. A must see.
