simply one of the best.

Rating: Null/10 (2 January 1999)

John Carpenter's "The Thing" was the first video I ever rented more than once. Since then I have watched it again and again and I have always enjoyed it the suspense and sheer terror of the thing is pure ecstacy. There is a line in a Michael Crichton book "The Andromeda Strain" that discuss the likeliness of our first contact with an alien life being a microscopic life-form. Knowing this and watching the scene with Wilford Brimley caculating how long it would take to infect the entire human race is enough to send chills down my back even now. The Thing is a MUST SEE for any sci/fi or horror fanatic.
