Review of The Thing (1982) by Ereviews — 21 Nov 2021
The Thing is the pinnacle of Sci-fi horror and it holds up even to the standards of modern day film. John Carpenter does a terrific job with his direction here and the cast worked wonderfully together. The plot and editing keeps you guessing at every moment until you get to those jaw dropping moments.
The gore and scare factor work terrifically as they didn't result to cheap scares or poor FX visuals since they use animatronics. Animatronics is an art form in itself that needs to make a comeback. The cinematography was absolutely amazing as well.
The weak link of this movie for me is the ending itself. We get such a great build up and climax that the ending sequence seems to taper off much more than it needed to.
