Horror Fragment

Rebeca 2022-03-20 09:01:09

I don’t remember where I saw the poster of this film for the first time.
Anyway, I saw
it again at the opening of The Mist and felt a sense of deja vu.-
Later I learned that it was the old card The thing
I thought must be a horror classic,
otherwise neither I will be fortunate to appear in Uncle King’s movie

with excitement. After watching this film
, I feel that it is just such a
horrible fragment. This is not the first time I have seen it in the
70s and I have never experienced it.
Listening to the background of low Fi,
watching the actor old school dress
reminds me of a back 2 basic

plot area is obvious route to go suspense
picture aspect is unlimited nausea class B route
but the two do not add up to become regardless of class
play suspense to engage in psychological terror as if not enough on the West Kirk and Uncle King's
visual stimulation can't get rid of the shadow of the alien,
especially the final Boss model, which is
alive with alien-shaped breast-breakers.
This makes Lao Ka's remarks that "absolutely not alien" is
self-defeating.

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?
