One of the rare members of the 'Better Than The Original' Club

Rating: 10/10 (22 September 2006)

*SPOILERS Are The Warmest Place To Hide*
Based on the short story by John W. Campbell, Jr. "Who Goes There?", the story of 12 men, alone in Antarctica, away from any kind of civilization... but near The Thing.
It can take any shape, it can replicate anyone... who will survive? And will they be human? Director John Carpenter, with 'can't-fail' actor Kurt Russell (whom we could maybe call even his 'fetish' actor) as the main character, RJ Macready, state-of-the-art FX, a dynamite script by the son of Burt Lancaster, the nice touch of having no women (a nice break from the so-called 'Scream Queens' phenomenon Carpenter himself created with 'HalloweeN''s Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis)) and a believable performance from the whole cast, 'The Things' brings you Ten (ok, Twelve) Little Indians (And A Dog) From HELL.
If you aren't scared by this movie, you're dead.
Or worse, you're...
THE THING.
The Thing: 10/10.
