Carpenter's second best flick

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2001)

The Thing is about a group of scientists study something, I can't remember in the arctic. Only to find out that something is with them, possessing them. Carpenter delivers a dark and moody flick with lots of slimy special effects and a killer finale. Nowadays Carpenter has strayed away from his horror roots, so if you want a Carpenter fix and are tired of his other and only good flick Halloween, check out The Thing.
