Negative Positive
Title: Chilling.
Review: "The Thing" is a great but flawed movie. There are scenes in this movie where JC raises the tension and suspense to a level unrivalled by any horror film. (For example, the scene where the characters are all tied to their chairs along with the alien was exquisitely suspenseful) However, the movie does have gratuitous blood and gore scenes, and ends rather lamely, with a typical hollywood action scene; this scene was completely incongrous with the rest of the movie, with its chilling and subtle psychological suspense and build up. Despite these weaknesses, I completely recommend this movie to anyone interested in horror, sci-fi, or just a plain old good time.
