Bleak and cold

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2018)

Well, another movie that I first enjoyed when I was little. It is indeed among the horror movies that subtly changed my perception of life and death. This and "The fly" have emotional values for me; unlike "The fly", this one is much rawer and colder. The atmosphere is the opposite of any drama-influenced movies - even the characters are cold and unsympathetic; there's barely any emotion in this movie (and in a good way of course). Extreme paranoia, bleakness, hopelessness and resignation are dominant here. Human psychology is yet again being explored.
Kurt Russell fits perfectly here and it's probably his best performance in his whole movie career - an emotionless and calculated badass that uses logic in order to solve everything.
"The thing" also proves that CGI does not belong in the horror movie business.
