The Thing | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

... an alien invasion horror masterpiece, a kind of survivalist chamber drama set in a remote research station in the icy Arctic where a small group men without women are confronted by an insidious takeover.

While the close-quarters direction is stellar, full of tight, terrifying spaces, and the cast is excellent (led by Kurt Russell), the real strength of the film lies in the special effects by Rob Bottin.

Tremendously fun. [Full review in Spanish]

This is a nihilistic look at survival at all costs, in which the men become as dangerous as the thing they’re hunting.

Since no one knows who has been infected until it is too late, The Thing becomes a nightmare guessing-game which Carpenter exploits most efficiently.
