Wonderfully crafted spine tingling movie.

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2020)

I created an account just to share my love for this movie, after all it single-handedly got me interested in John Carpenter's movies. Definitely my favorite horror of all time. This movie hits the nail on the head for so many things, the scare factor, the ambiguity leaving the watcher needing to think about the movie afterwards, the amazing chilling practical effects, the isolation and atmosphere, the amazing soundtrack playing at all the right moments expressing dread, the paranoia, the list goes on. I have never left a movie feeling the same way that this movie does. My favorite one of the things this film does wonderfully would be the ambiguity. I engaged in many theory videos and did some thinking on my own as well, but people such as Bob Ager had much better theories than anything I could come up with. This uneasiness, distrust, and uncertain feeling the movie displays is truly what makes it scary, on top of those terrifying practical effects which I love so much. The threat of The Thing being larger than life was also a very engaging aspect, making it even more truly scary. After seeing many movies of the same type, The Thing always takes the cake. Everyone involved in this film did wonderfully, and although nothing is ever perfect, this movie is damn near perfect FOR ME.
