Title: Great scary movie and chilling special effects
Review: I've seen this movie a bunch of times and it still gets me scared. Even though this movie was made in the early 80's the special effects are very realistic and believable. It never fails to make me scream. But, more than just a monster movie, I enjoy the characters, the story telling, the spine tingling suspense and even the ambiguous ending. While it doesn't quite compare to Alien, another favorite scary movie with a similar theme, it is a very good movie for a Saturday night fright flick.I especially loved the behind the scenes "John Carpenter's The Thing: Terror Takes Shape" probably as much as the movie. Rob Bottin's description of his creative process and was absolutely fascinating and I loved seeing the set creation and on location filming. It was also really interesting to hear the actor's commentary.This is a very enjoyable movie, a great addition to a horror film collection and a timeless classic.
