Man is The Warmest Place to Hide.

Horror-meister John Carpenter (Halloween, Escape from New York) teams Kurt Russells outstanding performance with incredible visuals to build this chilling version of the classic The Thing. In the winter of 1982, a twelve-man research team at a remote Antarctic research station discovers an alien buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Once unfrozen, the form-changing alien wreaks havoc, creates terror and becomes one of them.

PRODUCT REVIEWS

John Carpenter is one of my favourite filmmakers. The way he creates atmosphere, surpasses any other director. Have a look ‘The Fog’, ‘Halloween’ and ‘Christine’, they are all great examples of how to create a tense and atmospheric horror flick. However, I think Carpenter perfects this in his 1982 horror/sci-fi classic ‘The Thing’. ‘The Thing’ follows a research team in Antarctica who are hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of its victims. The film stars Kurt Russell and Keith David, two Carpenter regulars. The films influence on modern cinema is unlike any other and the film has become a classic. Thanks to the wonderful team at Universal, the film has received a full 4K restoration. So how does ‘the Thing’ hold up? ‘The Thing’ to this day, remains one of the bets films of all time. The blend of Carpenters trademark style, of creating a slow-burn sci-fi horror, mixed with ground breaking practical, special effects created one of the most atmospheric, tense and enjoyable horror films ever made. Kurt Russell shines here as our lead Macready. We essentially see the film through this character, as he deals with this parasitic alien creature. The dread is amplified by Ennio Morricone’s iconic score. The music is fantastic in the film, creating dark and gloomy atmosphere whilst never taking anything away from the rest of the film. Its perfectly balanced. The use of practical effects is iconic. The film relies heavily on these effects to work and they do not disappoint. Creating grotesque and realistic depictions of body horror and gore. These effects still to this day, remain to be some of the best ever put to film. The 2011 reboot/prequel opted for CGI over the use of practical effects and this effected the overall product quite heavily. ‘The Thing’ is nothing short of a masterpiece. With incredible visual effects, outstanding direction from the master, John Carpenter, a great lead turn from the great Kurt Russell and a terrific score from legendary composer Ennio Morricone, help cement this as one of the all-time classics. I love this film and it looks amazing in 4K UHD. I give ‘The Thing’ (1982) a 5/5. Be sure to pick up a copy of the film on DVD, Blu-Ray or 4K UHD from your local Sanity or online today!
