    It’s really good for 1982. The monster shape is cult and bloody. The grasp of human nature is also very good, but the rhythm is still slow. The cohesive technique is...

    Science fiction is just a cover, and monsters are just a cover. As always, this film is still discussing the human suspicion in desperate situation, and it is extremely exciting. Unfortunately, Carpenter’s B-level film is fun to discount the style of the entire film, and it cannot be matched. Alien has become a...

    Maybe it still doesn't have the technology. It seems that the taste is a bit bad now, although it is still quite scary, but there is too much plasma juice. The atmosphere can still be created. These stupid Americans killed the Norwegian boy with a single shot at the beginning, but in the end they didn't end well. Are they telling stories about...

    It's really bloody and heavy! But also very profound! As a movie 30 years ago, its extremely disgusting and authentic scenes can still be seen shuddering and even can't bear to look directly at it. The special effects and makeup are so awesome! The setting that monsters can imitate human beings also shows human suspicion and unfeeling killing. It's really an awesome horror movie! The open ending is endless. It is a pity that the structure is slightly procrastinated and...

    Now, no matter how good the computer-made special effects are, no matter how realistic they are, I still think they are fake, and this kind of special effects made decades ago with makeup and props has a very strong sense of reality. A few close-up shots really can’t bear to look directly at them, and they are a little...

    Carpenter's movies during his creative period are always so fascinating, and the shell of a well-made science fiction thriller packs his strong B-level feelings. The foreplay of this movie is very long, but the slow plot amplifies the psychological fear conveyed by the enclosed space and strengthens the dramatic tension between the characters. The horror and bloody scenes were absolutely unprecedented in history. This is a movie. A classic that has been imitated by countless future...

    It’s quite disgusting. Some sections are very classic. I haven’t watched this type of movie for a long time, and the excitement is back~ Especially, this is the first film that I watched patiently without any...

    Among the science fiction films in the early 1980s, they were pretty good. The atmosphere is full, if you haven't seen the alien first, this film is definitely worth watching. In addition, this film also involves the issue of human nature, which is a rare part of science fiction horror...

    The real monster is hidden among us

    I saw this movie by accident. 35 years have passed since 1982 and 2017. Science fiction horror films have advanced by leaps and bounds in these 35 years, but looking back at this old film, it can still be said to be great.
        At the beginning of the story, a group of people drove a plane to chase...

Fans who have heard roughly will think of the monsters in the film that humans are possessed...

The Thing quotes

  • MacReady: How you doin', old boy?

    Dr. Blair: I don't know who to trust.

    MacReady: [swallows, sighs] I know what you mean, Blair. Trust's a tough thing to come by these days. Tell you what - why don't you just trust in the Lord?

  • MacReady: First goddamn week of winter.
