A research team in Antarctica is hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of its victims.
The perfect horror movie. Excellently paced, relentlessly tense, and hopelessly isolated, "The Thing" is Carpenter at his absolute best. The film keeps your eyes glued to the screen throughout its run time, slowly pushing you to the edge of your seat. This film is true horror genius, with its chilling, yet mesmerizing score, superb acting, and its horrific visuals. This is one of the best examples of how to handle a remake.
