The Thing

Mannn, don’t you miss practical effects I can’t believe I’d seen the 2011 remake, but not the original. Where have I been? This was remarkable! It sets a real atmosphere of dread and tension sprinkling humor in moments that surprised me. There’s an authenticity to the group via their performances — and the best dog actor I’ve ever seen. Many smart elements and for an 80’s movie I see why it wasn’t well-received: It’s fearless.
