This is without a doubt the pinnacle of Carpenter's career and one of my absolute favorite monster movies of all time.
Though Bottin's effects are still some of the best practical effects ever made, what really makes this movie the classic it is, is Carpenter's perfect pacing of the growing tension and paranoia among the perfectly cast residents of the remote arctic, claustrophobic base.
There really is nothing more to say about this.
