The Thing

Wow just wow. This movie is incredible. The practical effects of this movie are great for the time it was made. The entire movie I was guessing who the thing was, but almost every time I was wrong. Every time I was wrong, the thing jumped out of a body I thought was innocent and killed a person who I thought was guilty. And oh my goodness that ending left me speechless. The entire film you are just building paranoia trying to see who the thing is. And when you think the film’s over and the thing lost, Childs turns out to be lost and manages to find a way back and they just lay there and Macready laughs. I don’t know if the ending was there just to make us the audience feel that the thing was among one of them just for that added touch of more paranoia, or the thing was actually one of them or even both of them. This movie is for sure going to get better on a rewatch. On the rewatch I can try and see if there were any clues that hinted at one of the crew members being the thing. I watched this movie while laying in bed in the dark with the fan and ac up high (The peak conditions for watching this movie)
