One if the great horror films

Rating: 9/10 (12 August 2014)

The Thing is one of the most suspenseful films ever made. This is a remake that is nothing like the original, and that's alright to me. Instead of the original monster, they made a new one who can morph into creatures that it absorbs. This ads an element of suspense that the original lacks.
The movie takes place in Antarctica. The main characters are secluded from other humans, which stops them from being able to escape so easily. The movies starts out slow, but once the monster is introduced, it is one fright after the other. It can be rather gross, because of its great special effects, but that is not what makes it scary. It is so suspenseful not knowing who is the thing, and when you find out, you are shocked and horrified. The blood scene is so suspenseful, and when the blood jumps up, it is just scary. Of course, you can't forget the dog scene. 9/10
The ending is perfect. I like how it leaves with a cliffhanger, leaving them out there to freeze to death. Great movie.
