The Thing
(1982)
Somebody in this camp ain’t what he appears to be.
The ThingĀ was almost universally REVILED when it first came out in 1982, but time told the true story: people just weren’t ready for it, it was so far ahead. John Carpenter had no interest in remaking the classic Howard Hawkes version, so he went back to the source material and found some real inspiration. The result is legit one of the most terrifying, bonkers, thrill ride of a horror film that’s ever been made to. This. Day. Josh watches for the first time!
