Outstanding! An Existential commentary on 20th Cent. Men!

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 1999)

"I don't know who to trust?" "I know, trusts a difficult thing to come by these days...maybe you should just trust in the lord." This exchange between Wilford Brimley and Kurt Russell offers a succinct view of the alienation present in this sci-fi gem. Forget any gore or special effects...this movie concentrates on man's alienation. Each character is alone. The fear that your neighbor may be the horrible "Thing" permeates all actions. Watch the film with this in mind!!
