1001 Movies ... my own version (1980's) (100 movies items)" Notes: This movie started out with a very typical ominous score which, for once, was not written by John Carpenter but by the great Ennio Morricone. From there, it became a chilling horror flick with some rather gruesome special effects. Even though it was actually never really scary, there were still loads of tension since you never knew for sure, except for MacReady, who could be infected or not. I also appreciated the downbeat ending with no survivors, even the last 2 guys were left alone i"

Movies the giraffe watched in 2020: May (46 movies items)"Scripts Gone Wild - May 24th I ended Sunday night with a Scripts Gone Wild edition of the original script of The Thing. Basically they assembled a bunch of people to read through the script and turn it into a drinking game. Any time anyone messed up their lines, they had to drink. Any time someone reading for a character in the film said a word with "thing" in it, everyone had to drink. And when they got to a certain line in the script everyone had to finish their drink. One of them didn't drin"

Slant's 100 Best Sci-Fi Movies of All Time (100 movies items)"For all of the Grand Guignol overload of its special effects, The Thing is first and foremost an atmospheric film, one predicated on the claustrophobia and paranoia generated by its remote Antarctic-base setting. It’s there that a scientific crew discovers, then falls prey to an alien that can assume the form of any living being it touches, forcing the men stationed at the base to question the true identities of those around them. This is fitting material for director John Carpenter, who ironi"
80s Horror Favorites (237 movies items)"The Thing (1982) - John Carpenter Ako bi trebalo izabrati samo jedan najbolji Carpenterov film onda bi to sigurno bio ovaj. Snijezna izolacija, ljudska humanost i snaga kolektiva na testu u prici o izolaciji, spremnosti covjeka da se izlozi rizicima zarad nauke bez adekvatne odbrane od vanjskih kosmickih uticaja.
