Who are what is really the thing?????????????

Rating: 9/10 (21 May 2000)

The film is truly a masterpiece of its genre.The setting,music,mood work to perfection.The characters seem slowly driven mad as one after another die or become the thing.People complain about character development in the film.This is not War AND Peace.The bareness of life surrounding the camp is amazing.Possible spoiler maybe is coming up????The blood test in the rec room is the most harrowing 10 mins you will ever see in film .The critics and audieces of 1982 were not ready for the film.I was a teen at the time and remember Siskel God rest his soul blasting the film all over the media.Ebert liked it and defended it.Again, The thing will one day get its true rating in horror films.I bought the widescreen version and will stick with it for now.
