One of the few good horror films

Rating: 9/10 (17 September 2003)

I dislike Horror movies or Thrillers spoiled by inane humour. I also dislike over-emphasis on violence and destruction in these films. For this reason, to me the Thing is a masterpiece. Little humour, a simple yet great soundtrack and superb suspense. Calling it just a horror film seems wrong. Quite simply it is a thriller, unmatched in the sci-fi or Horror category to this day! It is a hard act to follow, but bring on a sequel!
