The Most Underrated Horror Movie Ever

Rating: 10/10 (22 September 1999)

The One Line Summary above says it all. Never before a horror film was so much ahead of his time as this one. The special effects shown were so natural, so bloody, so disgusting....it must've been a severe shock for the average 1982 audience. Apart from the (even now) extreme effects, The Thing offers thrill at its best: an interesting bunch of characters bound together in a strange location (you can almost feel the loneliness of the snowcapped landscape) and a slowly increasing suspense culminating to an inevitable ending.
