John Carpenter, director of Halloween, The Fog, and Escape From New York, continues his phenomenal string of hits with The Thing, a new version of the classic horror thriller, starring Kurt Russell.

It is set in the winter of 1982 at a research station in Antarctica where a twelve man research team finds an alien being that has fallen from the sky and has remained buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Soon it is unfrozen and unleashed, creating havoc and terror as it changes forms and becomes one of them. Put this frightening story together with outstanding performances, incredible special effects by Roy Arbogast, makeup by Rob Bottin, and special visual effects by master Albert Whitlock and you've got a movie that Time Magazine describes as "Horrific".

Review:
The Greatest Monster Movie in History
Reviewer: Tim Metz (from Washington)
John Carpenter has always been a director of many talents, bringing forth some of the most creative and scary films ever to grace the screen, like Halloween, In The Mouth Of Madness, The Fog, and Christine. But he broke the mold when he made The Thing, and the result is probably the greatest monster movie in history. Sure Jaws was great, and so was Alien, but The Thing blows them all away.
