One of my Fav Friday night Movies!

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2003)

Over twenty years after its initial release John Carpenters "the Thing" still has a huge following from Sci Fi/Horror Fans the World over. Effects that back in the eighties simply drew your breath still stand up in the days of CGI, isnt it amazing what you can do with Cow intestines! One of my favorite scenes has to be the blood test, where after testing everyone else and having Palmer revealed as a thing, Gary who is heavily under suspicion as being a thing loses his rag when he "Passes" his blood test, Also the comical effect of burning things exploding. I have been reading the message boards here for a half hour or so and - hey guys - if anyone knows JC at all tell him we want an update or sequel - it would have to Rock!!! :-)
