Horror-meister John Carpenter teams Kurt Russell's outstanding performance with incredible visuals to build this chilling version of the classic The Thing.
In the winter of 1982, a twelve-man research team at a remote Antarctic research station discovers an alien buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Soon unfrozen, the shape-shifting alien wreaks havoc, creates terror and becomes one of them...

John Carpenter brings to the big screen another classic of antartic proportions. A team of american researchers are working out in the antartic when they realise that something not of this world is taking them over one by one. Great score from Ennio Morricone and engrossing acting from all involved, oh and did i mention the special effects...... Buy it and own a piece of psychological terror.
Bye this great film

What a bargan. This film has aged somewhat with modern special effects but it is still a great film with a good story line. Why hav'nt they done a second?
Why isn't there a prequel ?

This is what you get when a director is at his best....unfortunately Mr Carpenter hasn't done anything good since I'm sorry to say , but this is just AWSOME...great cast , great script and memorable (pre CGI) specical effects that would put some modern films to shame.
This is a must for any sci-fi / Horror fans out there....its a shame that they didnt do a prequel about what happened to the Norwigian camp but only if Carpenter was to do it and regain some much needed credability.
