The Thing

"My favorite horror movie. A Halloween night tradition."

"One of the best body horrors ever made? At least I think so the effects of the thing are still as ground breaking as they where when it came out and I wish we still did stuff like this it just looks so much better and you get that Visceral feeling!! Also the story is Intriguing and scary not knowing who could split in two and become a Disgusting monster, love that for them. ❤️"

"Super gory!"

"Another John carpenter film that is a great remake."

"Unbelievable practical visual effects!"

"A good movie for snow days!"

"Greatest horror movie ever, watched it every year."

"A bunch of dudes stranded on a frozen base, too much testosterone, add some alcohol and a ton of fire power, cheesy special effects and slimy creature things. It might've been a pretty cool movie at the time it came out, but I thought it was just meh. "

"This is probably the most stupidly good movie I’ve ever seen. It truly ahead of its time. Yes the monster it self kinda looks weird at first, but for me anyways I really just got immersed in this movie. The camera is excellent as well as the sounds. I also really enjoyed the setting in the middle of nowhere really. I can say a lot more but all leave it at that. "

"A fun, cosmic horror favorite. Decided to watch it again with my daughter. Lots of body horror in that the bodies of those taken by the Thing are grotesquely rearranged and sometimes intermingled with another body. I love the cliffhanger, or open-endedness at the end. If you play the non-canon video game, you do learn who survived but, again, non-canon and also it doesn't explain how they survived, what happened to the other person, or how the escaped. You can do a lot of speculating but you'll never actually know what happened. I really like this quote from Carpenter, "Now, I do know, in the end, who the Thing is, but I cannot tell you.""
