Best horror film ever? I think so yeah!

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2014)

-The Thing follows a team of scientists who find a strange being frozen at an Arctic base. When the alien escapes, it begins to take the forms of the team members, causing terror and suspicion throughout the Arctic.
-I love The Thing for any reasons, but really because of its ability to merge realistic characters, a tense story and plot that leaves you captivated, terrified without using jumpscares, and leaves you guessing until the end. And beyond! (evil laugh) -It stars Kurt Russell and a few others who all do a great job. One of my all-time favorite performances from him, as well as one of the best horror-movie heroes.
-The music is very eerie and haunting, but it's not that great to be honest. It feels old, but it's not really about the music.
-I guess I should go ahead and talk about the visuals. They are pretty visually terrifying. It is 100% practical effects with no CG, which makes it even more gross, but it is also old now, so it's not really that scary at a few moments. Still, best practical effects I have ever seen. That and Jurassic Park.
-It is rated-R because of its visuals. It also had a few F-words, but that's like 4. Not too bad, unless you hate creepy aliens morphing out of people. I think it's sweet! -So John Carpenter's classic version of The Thing delivers in acting, suspense, story, and scare factor that is so much better than cliché. I will say that The Thing is totally worth seeing! (If you like horror/sci-fi films) I gave it a high 8.5/10 as my #37 of all time!
