Review of The Thing (1982) by Eman M — 27 Sep 2012
Master of Horror John Carpenter delivers an intense and terrifying tale in his classic film The Thing. The story follows an Antarctic research station that is infiltrated by a shape-shifting creature. Kurt Russell teams up with Carpenter again, and delivers another great performance.
The creature effects are especially good, and are remarkably frightening and horrific. And, the themes of paranoia are captured exceptionally well by Carpenter's directing. The score is also quite powerful, and does an amazing job at heightening the suspense and intensity of the film.
The Thing is a dark and nihilistic film that strikes terror and fear into the heart of the audience.
