Alien, but in Antarctica.

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 1998)

This Alien-style thriller may not be as scary as the aforementioned shocker, but it beats it hands down on enjoyment. The Antarctic setting gives a bleak, almost stifling atmosphere, and the gory action is great. Kurt Russell turns in his best performance ever. It also has the best line ever...(trying not to spoil the plot here), Kurt Russell turns to "The Thing" of the title, says "f**k you too!" under his breath, and throws a stick of dynamite at it. Marvelous.
