hype?

This was the perfect movie to start reaction channels during the pandemic. When this movie first came out, it was about the fear of AIDS, not Covid. The guy who created the special effects for this movie, Rob Bottin, was only 22 years old when he worked on this movie and became an instant legend.

It's great watching a new generation of film lovers discover this film and John Carpenter. This was another "classic" that initially bombed at the box office and went on to achieve cult status (well deserved) years later. This movie and it's effects still hold up today and I consider this is John Carpenters crown jewel. This film is a GREAT example of why we ALL go to the movies. To forget about life for 2 hours and be taken away someplace we might never go ourselves. Movie directors are, in my opinion, the Da Vinci's and Mozart's of today. They simply paint in celluloid and each director paints with a different brush or stroke to achieve a desired finished product. It's why you can tell the difference between a Steven Spielberg film from a David Lynch film in just a few shots and why we all have our favorites.

Your work rate lately is on another level 👏👏 🫡

Your face during some of the monster reveals was great, half disgust, half amazement. This one holds up well after 40 years, one of the best parts of practical effects vs CGI.

Must have seen this movie at least 10 times. There are parts I STILL can't watch with my eyes fully open, the first dog kennel scene, especially. Pure nightmare fuel.

Definitely a top 10 movie for me. Great reaction, the appreciation of the special effects and story telling is very apparent and that's cool to see. Just like Jaws this movie has an epic making off documentary. It's called Terror takes Shape. You can find both of them on Youtube and are a must watch if you enjoy filmmaking process.

I love practical effects so much, it was my earliest childhood ambition to work on these kinds of projects. CGI took over the world before I could realize that, and I lost interest at that point. I wanted to build things. Rob Bottin, who did these creature effects, also worked on Joe Dante's The Howling, Ridley Scott's Legend, and the murder victim effects in David Fincher's Seven. I still own physical copies of both versions of this film. I think this one actually keeps closer to the John W. Campbell novella, Who Goes There?, than the 1950s version, as you might imagine. Campbell left a troubled legacy as an influential early science fiction writer, due to his outspoken position in defense of segregation and American slavery as ultimately beneficial to the African American people. His viewpoints kept him estranged from contemporaries, such as Asimov and Moorcock, who really couldn't stand him.

Childs asks the key question when he says, "So, how do we know who's human? If I was an imitation. A perfect imitation. How would you know if it was really me?" Ames, when you said, "Maybe ask questions of the past that only your true self would know", I was thinking exactly the same thing. (Great minds think alike perhaps?) Who knows whether or not the imitating creature would have access to all of the host's past memories, but it would be worth having a little Q&A session to find out.

Excellent movie and excellent reaction. Thank you. A creepy scary movie. The special effects. The not knowing who of the group is the Thing. My favorite Kurt Russel film as a kid was Escape from New York (1981), which came out the year I graduated from high school. Me and my teenage friends enjoyed that movie.

John Brennan

I Kinda feel like it's time you spill the beans/tea on how the goddam fickin' heckin' hell you get your hair to look so lush?? So.....TALK LADY!! ;)

This movie BOMBED when it came out and the critics didn’t like it. It was only later that it found it’s audience and became a tent pole movie in the Sci-f Horror lexicon. So glad it did.

China Andronicus

It's still absolutely insane to me that this bombed upon its release. It's so brilliant and never gets old, and the cast is phenomenal. I do have to say that I am unable to watch it without making a tribute post on Facebook to that utterly ludicrous hat that Kurt Russell wears early on. It's like a sombrero/cowboy hat, and one of my favorite costume pieces ever. I think probably all of my friends but one is sick of it, but I can't help it. That thing is just so over the top.

Retro Maven

I still prefer the original The Thing From Another World (1950). It left so much the imagination instead of relying on intense special effects like this version. But to each its own. Ames, maybe you should watch both and be the final arbiter???

The thing (1982) is to this day my favorite horror movie. The gruesome body horror, the slow burning paranoia, the horrifying death scenes. The Bennings thing scene is my favorite thing reveal scene with the grotesque hands and it's unhuman scream. But the Windows death scene was the best death, the way the Palmer thing's head splits open and drags Windows head into it's own and you hear his screams from inside the thing was most chilling to me. The fact that his head is literally inside this thing and you hear his screams of agony still sends chills down my spine.
