Good thing you bought the dvd after, it kicks ass a 4 star dvd in my book:)

Bottin is a wizard in this movie, the make-up effects are top-notch. Hell the F/X rival anything that I've seen before.

The Thing....a fucking classic:D

One of the best

I've actually never met a person who's seen this and didn't like it. It's just so damn original, and the atmosphere is top-notch, creating a feeling of isolation very close to space.

if you say you love horror movies and claim this one sucks

you don't know horror

The Thing (1982) is the best remake ever.A science fiction-horror fans dream come true.

This thread is ancient!

...but that doesnt mean The Thing isnt one of the greatest horror films ever.

Definitely the best remake ever made! This movie still holds up and just as creepy. One of the best horror movies ever made, hands down, with out a doubt.

One of my best also. This movie exemplifies to perfection how Carpenter was a master at creating atmosphere and playing with isolation...
