Truly a chilling masterpiece of sci-fi

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 1999)

This film has to be the greatest collaboration of John Carpenter and Kurt Russell. The other films are great but seldom am I left with such an intense and disturbed feeling as I have when I view The Thing. The acting all around is fantastic. Rarely have I ever seen such a troop of men pull off an acting job that lets the viewer actually feel their fear. The special effects hold up just as well when viewed by today's standards. The musical score is the icing on the cake which adds an extra special feeling of dread and isolation. I love this movie.
