Title: The Thing is out of this world!
Review: What a show! Carpenter has long been a favourite director of mine and I think that this is one of his best. He brings such a feeling of isolation and paranoia to this film that you you cannot take your eyes off it. Perhaps the best accolade that I can give this film is that when I watch it I begin to think what I would do in that situation - it all seem realistic (in a sci-fi kind of way). If you have not seen this film and are a fan of the genre, see it now - if you have seen it and love it the way I do get the DVD collectors edition which is so packed full of info & extras that video seems like only a distant memory.
