John Carpenters Finest Hour.

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2002)

This movie is in my elite class as on of the finest Science Fiction films I have ever seen. The setting for the film is intense the horrible blizzard like conditions add so much to this movie. Carpenter had his A game here. Kurt Russell is excellent, as is Keith David (my to favorites of the film). The suspense level just keeps building it is impossible to tell who has and has not been infected by "THE THING" There is a strong feeling of isolation involved when watching this film as if there is just nothing they can do to prevent this THING from getting to them. Carpenter does well in hiding who has and has not been infected. Make up and Creature effects are also top notch. All in all one of the finest films ever.
