The Thing (1982) – Chariots of the Gods, Man…

If you are reading this and haven’t seen John Carpenter’s The Thing before, let me start by saying: You lucky bastards!  You’re in for a nasty surprise.  In a good way…

And if this review persuades you to watch it, here’s a piece of advice – put the film on now.  Don’t Google search it and look at pictures.  Don’t ruin it for yourself, just watch it!

The Thing is a relentless, bleak, funny and terrifying film about a group of men stranded in an Antarctic base, battling for their lives against a hideous shape-shifting alien.
