The Thing is the thing

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2005)

John Carpenter's The Thing is truly a master piece. Carpenter is masterful at setting up suspense in this film, and the creature effects are hands down amazing. They will inspire you. a head sprouts legs and walks away, which should be all you need to know to want to watch this film. This film is the best suspense and the best carpenter film. This film creates a world that you can feel and believe. It is leagues above the crap cg that studios are obsessed with. I mean CG is good for what it does, but for building suspense and creating realistic monsters, you need the innovative style that comes with the creation of creatures. You need substance and puppetry to truly do that. The cast is also great, Keith Davis, Kurt Russel are just a few of the great actors of this film. You will really get an understanding of nearly every character. A truly great film.
