Horror movies don't get any better than this from John Carpenter!

Rating: Null/10 (2 March 2001)

The film poster tagline,"The Ultimate In Alien Terror", says it all about the 1982 remake of Howard Hawks' horror/sci-fi masterpiece "The Thing From Another World" simply called "The Thing".Horror master John Carpenter stylizes the short story,"Who Goes There?" about a group of scientists who travel the snowy backdrops of Antarctica as they find a buried spaceship that contains a bizzare frozen organism that when it thaws out,it kills every human being.The gory and stylish special make-up effects and Albert Whitlock's special effects help make the film an instant classic.Although panned by both critics and filmgoers at the time of its release,"The Thing" has found an audience on both video and TV.I would recommend watching this film in the ever popular "letterbox" format so you really can see all the high paced action,all the great special effects,and in director John Carpenter's original vision.A real treat for the not so squemish!
