Review of The Thing from Another World (1951) by Matthew C — 14 Oct 2011
While totally missing the 'enemy within' element of the story and 1982 remake, this alien menace movie is still really cool. A great cast of interesting characters bandy about some snappy dialog, trade friendly jabs, and occasionally reminisce about the War (WWII).
And then a giant plant man ambles about trying to kill everyone. Great sets and cinematography make the experience that much more thrilling. The sequence where they try to burn the Thing is especially cool.
A must for fans of classic sci-fi horror. Maybe not as good as Them! but still excellent.
