Thing, The

The Thing (1982)
Dir: John Carpenter

A group of scientists in the Antarctic confront a parasitic alien organism capable of perfectly imitating its victims.
A classic horror film by Carpenter when he was at his peak. The cast are excellent and the gory effects are ground-breaking. It has a superbly foreboding atmosphere and stands up to this day as one of the best of it's kind. A chilling masterpiece with a wonderfully bleak ending.
