The Thing

John Carpenter

1982

A delightful romp through the snowy tundra of Antarctica! A group of scientists and researchers come together to play a fun game of "who's the alien" while battling a shape-shifting monster. What could go wrong? It's just a silly little movie about teamwork and trust, with absolutely no terrifying and disturbing scenes whatsoever.

Nine Points of View

The Optimist

I love movies with a heartfelt happy ending.

The Mystic

Can we even trust ourselves to know what we are inside?

Greatest practical effects ever!

Good movie, sometimes production delays pay off.

12 angry men riding the orient express on ice.

The Skeptic

This Thing is an alien? From a flying saucer? How the hell did that Thing operate a spaceship?

The Rationalist

Burn it all to the ground.

The Empath

Humans are one thing but let’s leave the doggies out of it.

The Overthinker

A cutting metaphor for the paranoia of the Cold War, as well as the AIDS epidemic.
