Scared me so bad....

Rating: 10/10 (12 March 2006)

I literally had to sleep with the lights on for 3 nights (i saw this at its release in a drive in). This movie sets the bar for paranoia & nerve racking. I have the first DVD that is pictured here yet am dying to see the latest super special directors redone version which netflix does not have.
Nothing scared me like this till the I saw the Grudge & house of 1000 corpses which came close but The Thing really has staying power. Its ancient effects are still terrifying & the great cast does a fine job of instilling fear in the viewer.
I think this is one of the finest horror/sci-fi films ever made, & am glad to see it start to get the recognition it deserves.
