Can not fault this movie really.
I'll admit that I had never seen it until last year, actually I probably have years ago but forgot about it.
The Thing is gripping all the way through. I never get bored of it, The special FX, although 'outdated' beats anything CGI related today. I loved the mutating scenes, and the head with legs, its just brilliant. Dark and twisted, and very well done.
I love how the guys turn on each other, the paranoia and mistrust. There are no women in this film which is great, there's no bullshit love scenes to ruin the story.
As a lot of fans know, the line by Garry "I know you gentlemen have been through a lot, but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS F****** COUCH!" cracks me up every day, the acting is spot on.
And clarks hilarious " I dunno what the hell's in there, but it's weird and p***** off, whatever it is." LOL!
I don't know how anyone can not like this movie. I don't think its the best horror film ever made, but its not far off it. A bloody good watch.
