Based on the 1938 John W. Campbell Jr. novella" Who Goes There?" it tells the story of a group of American researchers in Antarctica who encounter the eponymous" Thing", a parasitic extraterrestrial life- form that assimilates, then imitates other organisms.

Production began in the mid-1970s as a faithful adaptation of the novella, following 1951's" The Thing from Another World The Thing" went through several directors and writers, each with different ideas on how to approach the story.
Filming lasted roughly 12 weeks, beginning in August 1981, and took place on refrigerated sets in Los Angeles as well as in Juneau, Alaska, and Stewart, British Columbia.
Of the film's$ 15 million budget,$ 1.5 million was spent on Rob Bottin's creature effects, a mixture of chemicals, food products, rubber, and mechanical parts turned by his large team into an alien capable of taking on any form.
" The Thing" was released in 1982 to very negative reviews.
It was described as" instant junka wretched excess", and proposed as the most hated film of all time.
Reviews both praised the special effects achievements and criticized their visual repulsiveness, while others focused on poor characterization.
The film earned$ 19.6 million during its theatrical run.
Many reasons have been cited for its failure to impress audiences: competition from films such as" E.T. the Extra- Terrestrial", which offered an optimistic take on alien visitation; a summer that had been filled with successful science fiction and fantasy films; and an audience, living through a recession, diametrically opposed to" The Thing" s nihilistic tone.
The film found an audience when released on home video and television.
In the years since, it has been reappraised as one of the best science fiction and horror films ever made, and has gained a cult following.
Filmmakers have noted its influence on their work, and it has been referred to in other media such as television and video games.
" The Thing" has spawned a variety of merchandise, including a 1982 novelization, haunted house attractions, board games, and sequels in comic books, a video game of the same name, and a 2011 prequel film of the same name.
