When Carpenter was king

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2002)

Having just watched this amazing film again, I find it sad to see the great John Carpenter now directing some poor films. Along with Halloween, The Thing is right up there with other great horror films. Everything about this film is right. The suspense as it builds, the effects that still look absolutely brilliant. The mystery of who is next in line. What more can I say? If you haven't seen it, you are missing out on a treat.
