    4.5. One of the best Carpenters, what is more amazing is that the length of the film is not long, but it can simultaneously complete a large-scale atmosphere and a wave of...

    Why are there so many people in the comments condemning distrust between people? In this case, distrust is the sensible approach, isn't it? Stop chicken soup every day! The special effects makeup artist for this film should have won every award that...

    A visual representation of claustrophobia. However, the story and characters lack a sense of hierarchy, and it is impossible to tell who is who. The process is a bit boring, and there is not even a woman. No wonder it is claustrophobic. Samsung and a...

    Scared, disgusting. Watched it at ifm in New York, and the audience laughed and cried for a while. Don't say anything, it's really a horror...

    The monster and the monster prequel are read together. The creative shape creature invades, and it is even more rare to show the suspicion, ruthlessness and struggle between...

    "Imdb250, remake from 1951" horror film, a classic of sticky alien films. The plot is less cliché, and there is a trusting relationship between...

    Four stars are for special effects makeup. Thirty years ago, this technology is very awesome today~! Absolute horror movie model at the...

    Looking at the props now is too far behind. . The blank at the end is entirely the rhythm of the follow-up, and it turned out that there was a prequel 30 years...

    This film has been paid tribute by latecomers many times in terms of special effects and conception. In terms of atmosphere creation, it does not use too much soundtrack and artificial horror (the tune of a b-level horror film), and it is really comfortable to match the ice and snow...

    Frustrated after the box-office flop, Carpenter still sees The Thing as his pinnacle. The facts tell us that there are temporary doubts and dust in the market, but the classics can always surpass the baptism of...

The Thing quotes

  • Fuchs: [whispering] I have to talk to you.

    MacReady: I'm tired of talkin', Fuchs. I just wanna get up to my shack and get drunk.

    Fuchs: Mac, it's important.

    MacReady: What is it?

    Fuchs: Outside.

    MacReady: It's 40 below zero outside.

  • MacReady: I don't know. Thousands of years ago it crashes, and this thing... gets thrown out, or crawls out, and it ends up freezing in the ice.

    Childs: I just cannot believe any of this voodoo bullshit.

    Palmer: Childs, happens all the time, man. They're falling out of the skies like flies. Government knows all about it, right, Mac?

    Childs: You believe any of this voodoo bullshit, Blair?

    Palmer: Childs, Childs... Chariots of the Gods, man. They practically own South America. I mean, they taught the Incas everything they know.

    Garry: So, come on now, MacReady, Norwegians get ahold of this... and they dig it up out of the ice.

    MacReady: Yes, Garry, they dig it up, they cart it back, it gets thawed out, it wakes up... probably not the best of moods... I don't know, I wasn't there!

    Nauls: [skates in with ripped long johns] Which one of you disrespectful men been tossing his dirty drawers in the kitchen trash can, huh? From now, I want my kitchen clean, all right? Germ free!

    Childs: So how's this motherfucker wake up after thousands of years in the ice?

    George Bennings: And how can it look like a dog?

    MacReady: I don't know how. 'Cause it's different than us, see? 'Cause it's from outer space. What do you want from me? Ask him!

    [motions to Blair]

    Childs: You buy any of this Blair?
