The most chilling film I've ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2006)

I saw this film when it first came out, and my jaw dropped so far that I couldn't eat for five days. Bloody, violent (and giving the Norwegians a hard time, just for the hell of it). Fantastic. "I don't know what's in there, but it's weird and p***ed off, whatever it is." Could you come up with a better line than that? If you thought about it for a million years, you'd still be hard pushed. That's what "The Thing" is all about. At a superficial level, it's a gory, blood-drenched horror show (and full credit to it for its utter gratuity). But probe a bit deeper, and you will find an intriguing exploration of what it means to cling onto your own existence, and then you have to ask yourself: "What would I do to stay alive?"
