The Thing (1982), John Carpenter
5/5
A timeless classic science fiction film. A true psychological thriller. Stands the test of time with superb cinematography, acting, and practical effects. Nothing beats the amazing opening sequence with John Carpenter's haunting score. MacReady played by the brilliant Kurt Russell plays a subtle and muted unlikely hero. No premake can ever capture the essence of this film, the brilliant story. With visual effects that are still impressive, it just shows what can be done with art design, props and practical effects without the modern gimmicks of cgi and 3D. A smart film that lets the audience unravel the plot, making it brilliant for watching over and over. One of the best science fiction films of all time.
