The Thing • John Carpenter • 1982 • 1h 49m
A research team in Antarctica is hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of its victims.
"Every October, I revisit John Carpenter’s “The Thing” to celebrate the month of Halloween, and every year I arrive at the same conclusion: it's one of the most effective horror films ever made." - RogerEbert.com
"The Thing is a peerless masterpiece of relentless suspense, retina-wrecking visual excess and outright, nihilistic terror." - Empire magazine
"While the close-quarters direction is stellar, full of tight, terrifying spaces, and the cast is excellent (led by Kurt Russell), the real strength of the film lies in the special effects by Rob Bottin." - CBR
