📖 Synopsis
An American Antarctic research station discovers something in the field of their neighboring Norwegians: something that perfectly imitates any living being. When the thing infiltrates the base, no one can know if the others are human or if they have already been replaced. John Carpenter filmed in 1982 the most effective paranoia and cosmic horror movie in American horror cinema, with practical effects by Rob Bottin that are still impossible to believe.
✍️ Our review
9.2/10
★★★★★
The Thing is the best paranoia movie in horror cinema: in a closed space, no one can trust anyone. Bottin's practical effects are genuinely unsettling decades later. The ending is the most uncomfortable silence in the genre.
