Still love it!

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2006)

Loved it from the get-go. Remote scientific base in Antarctica. Winter. Beautiful snow landscapes. A team of Norwegian scientists is chasing a dog to kill it. The Americans save the dog and bring doom on themselves, because the dog carries the Thing.
The place becomes more and more claustrophobic as suspicion they are infected arises between team members. The music of Enio Morricone, adding to the suspense. Kurt Russel does what he does best, Keith David is brilliant as always. The monster looks extremely realistic, considering it was made in '82.
Those who liked the Alien series, will like this one, too. For me, growing up with it, it's like one of my favorite toys from childhood, it feels like home.
