Still Great

Rating: 10/10 (6 June 2012)

The Thing is one of my favorite movies, and my number one horror film. It's a classic.
Although I'd say the highlight of the film is special effects, this doesn't mean the story was neglected. Scary special effects backed up by an equally scary story make The Thing better than most horror films. I love the twists. It's a genuinely suspenseful and gripping scary movie.
The special effects are still amazing to this day. In fact, I find some of the scenes far scarier than anything CG. Really impressive stuff. I have to say nothing looks very cheesy at all, which is impressive for a movie made thirty (wow!) years ago.
Amazing movie.
