Best MOVIE (Not Just Horror) of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (1 October 2014)

One of the greatest movies of all time, my personal favorite movie in any genre! John Carpenter created a masterpiece that stands as the crown jewel in the horror genre! Great acting, thick atmosphere, brilliant effects, and smart character decisions are just some of the things 'The Thing' offers. Speaking of the characters, this is one of the aspects where the movie stands apart from the rest, they make logical decisions for the greater good of the group. They aren't splitting up, going to into dark rooms alone, they are fighting back and using science to their advantage. Outside of strong characters, the movies special effects are unrivaled even by today's technological advancements and widening resources. The practical effects used in the movie look spectacular, over the top yes, but never too fake to the point where they become silly. The creatures many taking forms could not look any more impressive or scary! This is the standard that all horror movies should be judged, from its foreboding atmosphere, to special effects, and strong characters, this is the crown jewel in the horror department!
