Horror classic.

Rating: 9/10 (28 August 2004)

Time hasn't really been nice to John Carpenter, nowadays obviously spending most of his time wondering how to destroy his las ounce of credibility as a director. Luckily for him, "The Thing" is a movie that will forever have him placed in the big league of horror masters among Lucio Fulci, Mario Bava, Wes Craven et.c.
"The Thing" is a actually a remake of an old movie from the fifties. Carpenter has cleverly captured the fear and mistrust at a polar station when people are infected with a highly dangerous, well, thing that make them turn into killers. Very gory effects will satisfy every horror-lover's desire, chilling atmosphere makes one always wonder what will happen next. Put shortly this is a classic horror movie that will entertain anyone who's not fainthearted.
8/10
