I only give 10/10 to a handful of movies

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 2019)

The Thing truly is the ultimate in horror. The special effects are perfect, the best I've ever seen! It's a movie that scares you with little to no jumpscares because it presents you with superb visual effects that will make you look away at the horrific mutated monsters, the chilling and claustrophobic environment and the uneasy feeling of distrust regarding all characters in the picture. You never know who's human and who's pretending to be human and you never know what is lurking inside, what the infection is, where it is, what it is doing when it might be right in front of you, etc. It's right there, haunting and destroying you but you can't see it, feel it, hear it, touch it. The mystery is frightening and the tension is palpable! Do yourself a favour and watch this movie! The mastery of it outshines everything that might be a little less perfect. Best horror movie ever made!
