The Thing

This movie is my FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME!! Everything about this movie works so well. The effects are some of, if not the the best practical effects I’ve ever seen. So much goo and blood and it works so well. The setting is incredible, creating a sense of dread and paranoia that is present the entire time, and doesn’t dampen even as the movie ends. The characters are all fun, especially Childs and Macready, but Norris, Palmer, Niles, Gary, Clark, Windows, Fuchs, Blair, Copper, and Bennings are all so memorable. The decisions made are all kind of smart and establish that the characters aren’t bumbling idiots and instead are doing the best they can with their limited resources. This movie is the greatest and will always be my favorite. I could go on and on about why I love this movie, but it would probably get redundant and I’ll end up repeating myself. THIS MOVIE IS A MASTERPIECE!
