John Carpenter's sci-fi horror masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2007)

This movie is one of the greatest and scariest sci-fi movies I've seen, it still creeps me out now when I watch it and that's another reason why I love it. John Carpenter's The Thing is a remake of Howard Hawk's The Thing From Another World made in 1951. The film is scary because they're trapped inside with each other and one of them is The Thing and they can't stay outside because they'll freeze. The paranoia is great between the characters as they start to distrust each other thinking one of them could be it. The music score is another thing why I enjoy this movie because it's so creepy and makes this film more scary, The Thing effects are brilliant and really impressive since all of it is hand made since CGI wasn't made then. The effects are also really gory and disturbing like when Blair does an autopsy on the body of The Thing. John Carpenter's The Thing is a fantastic sci-fi horror movie that is still really scary and should be seen. 10/10
