25 years on and still unmatched!

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 2007)

Its hard to know where to start to review this film, their is something very unique in my mind about this flick that i still haven't found an equal too. No other film has more than a 9.5 out of ten for me,besides this, nor are there many films i can hack watching more than once. So why can i watch this film over and over? Is it the tremendous realism portrayed by all the actors? Is it Rob bottins Superb effects? Is it the excellent soundtrack which reverberates so simply and deeply? I must admit it is all of these and more. The unnerving atmosphere and paranoia held at a perfect pace throughout the whole show combined with the everpresent fear between the characters is simply unmatchable in todays CGI cinema.
Do not judge this film by its title(various people i know wont watch it because they believe it is a poor B movie, eg the blob...). Its stood the test of time superbly and is sadly going to be remade for a 2009 release. I can only hope it turns out as good as this 1982 version but it may be hard to match.
Fingers crossed all you other Thing lovers!
