Simply the best horror film ever, ending is exceptional cool.

Rating: 10/10 (29 August 2004)

When I first saw this movie I really was wondering if this was the best movie I have ever seen (honestly). The movie's paranoiac atmosphere, caused by an unknown threat, works perfectly. Despite some clichés, the style of the movie is most original. Fortunately no one has tried to continue the story of The Thing - the original film is always the better one. Movie ends just like it is supposed to: the last two characters drinking alcohol and waiting for the blank future, surviving is unlike. I hate happy endings anyway. The only reason, why this is not the best movie on earth is the acting of Kurt Russel. Don't get me wrong, he is not bad, but someone else could have been better. Never the less this is easily the finest movie in which he has been acting.
