Paranoia...a perfect way to bring fear to a perfect movie!

Rating: Null/10 (22 March 2001)

*May Contain Spoilers* Terrifying, creepy, excellent, beautiful. All of these words describe The Thing, John Carpenter's best work to date. I'm not sure how, but the people behind this film sure know how to set a mood of believable paranoia! It's like, ya' never know who the thing is until WHAM!, a guy's head splits open or a dog's head drops off, leaving a huge tongue. The F/X do not disappoint, of course, and Kurt Russel's performance as the brave but yet moderately paranoid hero brings fear in itself. Watch it in the dark and see if you ever sleep again.
