Review of The Thing

The Thing (1982)
8/10
Scary, scary, scary...
25 February 2002
Although many claim this film to be a true B-movie it is actually a great film filled with suspense and action. I love this one, I have always been a sucker for creepy films but this has it all. The story combines psychological effects as well as OK special effects which are used in a pretty damn scary way!

You could make the argument that this is just another alien rip-off placing the characters in an unescapable environment. But that is just the thing! The alternatives given to the characters are simple: Freezing your brains out or facing the monster. This is just the stuff to give you the creeps and this film truly does that.

This is a scary ride all the way from the beginning to the end. And after all, how many so called "sci-fi horror" flicks gives you that?
