The Thing

From the visual effects, tight pacing, and attention to detail. The Thing is a marvel in suspense! This is something truly special, it feels as if every piece of the puzzle fit exactly where it was supposed to be. This is a thriller done right! Of course, the special effects have something to do with that, even if this was released almost forty years ago, there were still moments where I was questioning how they pulled certain shots off.  The score is atmospheric but chaotic and can feel like hellfire when it needs to, the cinematography was restrained but purposeful, the pure mood that this absolute masterpiece gives off is unparalleled. The Thing is probably one of my favorite horror movies if not favorite movies ever.
