The ultimate in pure terror!

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2001)

As far as monster flicks go, THE THING surpasses all. This movie's got it all: Rob Bottin's incredible special effects that still look fantastic today, nail-biting suspense, fabulously spooky lighting by Dean Cundey, a polished cast of talented actors, and best of all, marvelous direction by John Carpenter, one of the greatest auteurs in cinema history. So if you're looking for a terrifyingly good time, turn down the lights, slap in THE THING, and get ready for the ride of your life!
