THE THING Reviews of John Carpenter’s classic sci-fi splatter fest

Other reviews:
“It was a disastrous flop, and threatened Carpenter’s once unassailable reputation as the king of the new horror. It’s hard to imagine now: with the benefit of hindsight (and, more importantly, repeat viewings), ‘The Thing’ has emerged as one of our most potent modern terrors, combining the icy-cold chill of suspicion and uncertainty with those magnificently imaginative, pre-CG effects blowouts.” Time Out

“The Thing is a terrifically tense and alarming film that does exactly what you what from a sci-fi horror, it terrifies. I consider it a masterpiece of filmmaking and it’s a film that hasn’t dated it still works as well today as it did back in 1982. The acting really is superb with Kurt Russell the pick of the actors. Put simply The Thing is a must-see film.” Popcorn Cinema Show
