Fun for the whole family, but not the weak stomached.

John Carpenter's The Thing, is possibly one of the most incredibly designed Horror movies that I have seen. Its gruesome atmosphere and chilling story made me cringe at the thought of being stuck in that same situation. John Carpenter definitely did a great job on this one. From "Halloween" to this, John Carpenter is a pure genius. One of my most favorite parts in The Thing is when they find the dead Norwegian strapped to the chair frozen, and when they find the open ice chamber where the thing slept for years.
The atmosphere in this scene is so dark that I couldn't wait to see the rest of this movie. The most popular parts about The Thing has got to be the Gore. This movie redefines the Horror genre, and easily claims the top of the violence meter. Next to The Exorcist, The Thing is a definite must-see.
