Who Goes There.

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 2011)

Truly one of the greatest examples of American horror cinema ever committed to celluloid. Legendary director John Carpenter uses every part of his immense talent to produce a true classic that just seems to get better with age. The camera glides from scene to scene & creates a magnificent atmosphere filled with paranoia & dread. The make up effects are a true delight created by Rob Bottin who produces some of the best effects you are ever likely see on film. On initial release The Thing was a box office failure mainly due to E.T being released at the same time which took over everything in its path. However the movie has picked up a massive cult following over the years & is rightly regarded as a true horror classic today. A brilliant piece of cinema from a true master director....They don't make movies like this anymore,sublime.
