The Thing
Dir John Carpenter | USA, Canada | 1982 | 109 mins | Rated 18 | English

A US research station in Antarctica is suddenly buzzed by a helicopter from the nearby Norwegian research station. When the chopper is destroyed the US team fly to the Norwegian base to find out what is going on, only to discover them all dead or missing. They also find the burned remains of a strange creature, which appears to be some sort of alien. The scientists take it back to their base, only to find out that this creature isn’t dead after all, and in a frozen wasteland, human bodies are the warmest place for it to hide.

Starring Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley, Keith David

REVIEWS
"a peerless masterpiece of relentless suspense, retina-wrecking visual excess and outright, nihilistic terror." ★★★★★ Adam Smith, Empire Magazine

"The [1950] original has been built up to classic scale, but Carpenter's remake is actually far scarier and equally thoughtful." ★★★★ Daniel Fienberg, Zap2it.com

"The solemnity of the frozen wastes contrasts brilliantly with the sweaty paranoia of the men, who are unsure which of their colleagues is next going to erupt with hidden jaws and shooting tendrils." Ed Potton, The Times

"Every October, I revisit John Carpenter’s “The Thing” to celebrate the month of Halloween, and every year I arrive at the same conclusion: it's one of the most effective horror films ever made. " Wael Khairy, RogerEbert.com
