As exciting today as when it was released

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2001)

John Carpenter's re-envisionment of The Thing (it really can't be called a remake) is a modern masterpiece of horror. The special effects alone are worth the price of admission, even by todays standards. This movie would make a corpse shudder and jump, and the social commentary is as brutally honest as it is bleak. Don't let the end of the world arrive without having seen this movie.
