Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2004)

Once upon a time in a cold icy place, there was a little alien called the thing... S**t, This movie is no fairy tale, It's a gore fest!
John Carpenter is not known for making movies with fluffy bunnies and wide eyed puppy dogs, No instead he likes to make movies about puppy dogs wide eyes popping out and its guts splatted all over the kitchen sink! The Thing is every horror/sci-fi fans wet dream, Although some what dated now it still has a strong cast who shine as their characters and enough excitement to keep anyone watching right up to the end. I was 15 when i first saw The Thing and i have to admit there was a strong smell coming from my pants long after the movie had finished, What, With the thumping beat of the music, The chunks of meat and drool, I was horrified!
Thank goodness however i was not put off watching horror movies from then on. I went on in my humble youth to watch other classic horror movies like Re-animator, From Beyond and other gore movies favorites.
Thank the lord for The Thing as it set a new era of horror production right through the 80's here are some of my collection i have now, You may remember some of these... The Thing (of course)..The Howling..From Beyond..Fright Night..Waxwork..Cellar Dweller..Creepshow I and II..The Kindred..The Gate I and II.. Terrorvision and Screamers.
