classic, though it didn't impress me really that much

A perfect popcorn movie.

Lively science fiction film, with dubious politics.
February 09, 2006
The overall message of The Thing emerges as distinctly hawkish. Reactionary or not, though, it's still a masterpiece.

Perhaps the most famous shot of the movie is also one of head-slapping irrelevance.

Even though the thing doesn't begin to make its presence felt till near the halfway point... the simple act of watching men discuss strategy ends up being terrifically absorbing.

The resourcefulness shown in building the plot groundwork is lacking as the yarn gets into full swing. Cast members, headed by Margaret Sheridan and Kenneth Tobey, fail to communicate any real terror.

A solid, workmanlike film that holds up better than one would expect.
June 06, 2007
The film has more frissons than most of today's mega-budget productions, simply because it has the grace to construct a meaningful situation and coherent characters.

It's still a very harrowing and action packed horror film...

Set the template for a decade of alien invasions.
