Similarities to '30 Days of Night'

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2007)

I'm sure horror fans who have recently seen '3O Days of Night' will remember watching The Thing. The two films share in common the winter snowy background town with no escape for the characters which makes the viewer feel a similar sense of desperation. Unlike Hartnett's character in 30 Days, Kurt Russell has to survive by himself, and this itself gives the movie a deeper sense of isolation and scariness.I'm sure horror fans who have recently seen '3O Days of Night' will remember watching The Thing.
