One of if not the best horror movie ever.

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2020)

John Carpenter's The Thing does everything right. Brilliant casting, haunting atmosphere and it leaves you with many unanswered questions. With so many cult classics released in the 80's (Aliens, Terminator, The Fly etc.) The Thing takes it's place amongst the best of them all, but perhaps the one thing that really sets it apart from many horror movies, are its unique practical effects. Even after decades they still hold up exceptionally well and manage to really elevate the genre. This movie on it's own is a unique experience, that every movie fan should go through once or maybe more in their lifetime.
