Rating: 8/10 (20 March 2009)

The IMDb FAQs page is very helpful and does a comprehensive job of explaining things about 'The Thing.' If, like me after seeing the movie, you are wondering if you missed something or if certain questions were intentionally left unanswered by the filmmaker, check the FAQs page!
I am no expert on suspense flicks, but I really got into this movie! Originally watched it only to see Kurt Russell. After a few minutes I felt like some of the seminal images might have been seen elsewhere in tributes/parodies that I never understood before. And after that, I really wanted to know what happened!
