"The Thing."

C'mon, who's seen it? It was on skyone last night and I loved it. It really is freaky, when the dog is is with the other dogs and it just has that look, HOW DO YOU GET A DOG TO ACT!?

The make-up was good, brilliant by 1982 standards, and personally i think it beats Alien by a long shot.

Also lots of fire, lots and lots of fire.

It relies on gore and on making the veiwer wonder. You really dont know who can be trusted...

*Sighs* What ever happened to John Carpenter?

Assault on Precinct 13, Halloween, The Fog, Escape from New York, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China in the 70s and 80's and all excellent stuff. Then we have a small amount of tosh in the last 10 or so years.

Love it, love it, love it.

One of the first horror films I ever saw.

"I don't know whats in there, but its weird and pisssed off"

Classic.

"Who Goes There?" by John W. Campbell Jr. The original story both film versions were based on. Obviously the 50's version couldn't realise the alien, but the original story has it

Alien owns The Thing.

The Thing relies more heavily on gore.

Seen it many times, excellent film. Every time i see it, I'm tempted to buy thegame too.

Alien is still superior though.
