Carpenter's best movie to date

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 1999)

This is one of the few movies that I can watch over and over again (the others being Psycho, Scarface, The Exorcist and 2001). It's just as great every time. If one was to describe The Thing with one word then there's one that fits better than any other namely, "Atmosphear". It's like being right in the middle of the movie. The minimalistic soundtrack by Ennio Morriocone and John Carpenter is awesome and adds a lot to the feel of the movie. In my opinion this is without question the best sci-fi-horror-movie ever made and definitively John Carpenter's best movie so far.
