It’s not really that horrific to me. But the thing that really spooked me was how deep and wide they cut themselves up drawing blood from their thumbs.
The Thing is a 1982 American science fiction horror film directed by John Carpenter from a screenplay by Bill Lancaster. Based on the 1938 John W. Campbell Jr. novella Who Goes There?, it stars Kurt Russell, with A. Wilford Brimley, T. K. Carter, David Clennon, Keith David, Richard Dysart, Charles Hallahan, Peter Maloney, Richard Masur, Donald Moffat, Joel Polis, and Thomas G. Waites.
The Thing was a pretty good movie. I went into this movie knowing the general idea of it. An alien disguises itself as the people it's around and tries to kill the rest of them.
You may be familiar with some certain games that use this concept, but The Thing came out first.
I did enjoy the movie though. I actually didn't know Keith David was in it so hearing his voice was kind of a surprise.
I also enjoyed that you never really saw the alien itself. The only time you did see the alien was when it had already become part of one of the people so it was some weird amalgamation of human and alien.
It was less of an actual alien like the Yautja or the Xenomorphs and more like a parasite that takes over the body.
It's an interesting take on the alien movie genre.
However, I thought the movie overall was pretty slow and just kind of boring.
Obviously, it had some great scenes and was a great idea, but the movie itself I thought was just kind of boring to sit through, even the ending battle.
I felt like a lot of the movie felt the same, a lot of accusing, burning, etc, and all of it was really slow to boot.
The effects were really great, I do love some practical effects, but I just don't think that can save this movie from being nothing more than lackluster.
