"The Thing" was creative game changer ...

Rating: 9/10 (16 August 2014)

THE THING was the second movie to actually keep me on the edge on my seat! I didn't know it when I was younger, but after the evolution of Make-Up and Affects today, it is apparent that graphics had nothing to do with this! It certainly gave the movie goer a pleasant change and an unexpected, "good 'ol movie scare" experience! #TheThingTheMovie brought a new Expectation in #thrillers as a whole! The whole idea behind anything being able to "Morph" into whatever it wanted to, was mind-boggling to me. I didn't actually have bad dreams about the neighbors dog coming to kill me, but I did allow my imagination to "day dream" it, while staring at him, the very next day! I couldn't imagine actually being in a situation where I am fighting for my life against God knows what? And not being able to trust whether or not one of my friends is really just this Blood loving Thing looking like someone I know, is too much to digest This original THING, was uncover-able, but can totally understand trying a remake. #SomeThingsAreBetterLeftAlone - #davidruffinjr/@davidruffinjr
