8/10
A B&W science fiction classic for the ages ... they are out there
12 May 2022
Now this is what filmgoers go the movie theater to see. Young men could bring their dates to watch this science fiction classic and without even having to slowly and discretely drape their arm over their girlfriends shoulder the ladies AND THE MEN would be hanging on to each other wondering what harm this creature from another planet will do.

I loved it. Yes it is in black and white which only adds to the history of film and allows the viewer to really consider life beyond earth exists or not.

The film has a great cast, and the spellbinding and gradual release of the creature from the huge block of ice in the arctic atmosphere adds tense drama to the film's story line.

I love this film and I give it a most deserving 8 out of 10 IMDB rating. This film was so highly respected by filmgoers that a remake was brought to theaters in 1982 starring Kurt Russel and directed by John Carpenter as a homage to The Thing From Another World.
