A bleak masterwork

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2002)

The bleakest film ever made by John Carpenter. Fear, paranoia and one of the darkest endings possible. You simply cannot compare the masterworks John Carpenter was capable of in the 70s and 80s to the fluffy stuff he directs today. The Thing (along with Escape from New York, The Fog and Assault on Precinct 13) is highly recommended.
