Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
krystofsubr John Carpenter is a genius. I've been a fan of his work for a couple of years now, but i've never watched The Thing. (Well I kinda did a couple years ago, but I got bored and I just played games on my phone, because I was a stupid kid. Was, more like am). Well at the beginning of this year I got really interested in movies and I watched a lot of Carpenter's movies. I liked them all (Yes, even Ghosts Of Mars). I finally watched The Thing and wow. It's so good. Great acting, Amazing effects, Breathtaking Music, Perfect Tension and a really really awesome ending. 10/10. Everyone should watch it.
B.J. Rice The Thing is an all time classic sci-fi/horror movie. Great writing, performances, and a fantastic ending. Great soundtrack. This movie is just plain awesome! It holds up today too.

Jarvis-5 Hands down the best sci-fi/horror film I've ever seen. Every scene is important and the dread you start to feel as the story progresses sends chills down my spine. Awesome Awesome Movie. Thanks John Carpenter for this film!
