This glorious film makes Alien look terrible

Rating: 8/10 (14 January 2011)

I didn't like Alien (1979) and I got put off by watching another alien, fantasy, sci-fi film again. But when my godfather burned John Carpentar's The Thing, it looked strange but exciting at the same time as it was a Carpentar film.
The Thing is about a couple of people who are in snow cabins, studying things and the like. Then a dog runs into the campus and a crazy man with a rifle comes in trying to shoot the dog. He ends up dying and a couple of days later we see the dog evolve into a nasty looking Alien that can take anything it touches and it can imitate that thing. It ends up getting many of the men in the campus and many of the men act out evilly because of the Alien inside them.
The Thing has many psychological elements that make this film really fun to watch. It was a little scary, especially when we see that Alien with the really skinny, long neck.
This also one of the best remakes that should be owned and watched many times. Even if it's not as good as Halloween, it definitely deserves it's place in the Horror genre. 8/10
