: The Thing
Director: John Carpenter
For some reason I thought I’d seen this long ago, but that was a completely different movie. I’d never seen this, though I wanted to after recently reading the short story upon which it was based. I’m not a big Carpenter fan, but this is one truly great movie. It’s extremely faithful to the story, which was great, and has an excellent visual appearance, terrific performances, and special effects that surprisingly still hold up today. On top of all that, it’s even scary! It also is thought-provoking: it’s sure to bring up some debates on trust. Worth seeing all the way. The DVD’s pretty good as well: there’s a long documentary that reveals much about how they created the special effects.
