Yeah The Thing is so incredible. I love Carpenter's style and I think he reached his pinnacle on this one. And goddamn those effects are so awesomely gross.

Hell yes, in my experience no other horror film matches up to this.

How many horror films have Kurt Russell and Keith David anyway?

One of my favorite movies ever. It has one of the best endings, the best special fx, the best actors, the best monsters, and on and on and on...

I remember seeing this movie for the first time when I was, like, 10. I still have nightmares.

In all seriousness, though, this is my favorite horror film, and my second favorite film ever (second only to Brick). The effects are disgusting, the writing is sharp, and Kurt Russell with a cowboy hat and Chuck Norris beard in the FUCKING ANTARCTIC is just too awesome to deny.

Watching this made me even more excited for the prequel. If they nail it, it could be something really great.

The scene with the thing kneeling in the snow and screaming still freaks me out.

This reminds me that I would love a "Navarros Nightmares" as a feature (or a premium off the go feature)

The Thing is one of my top 3 favorite movies. I watch it several times every year and it just never gets old to me.
