I dunno what the hell's in there, but it's weird and pissed off, whatever it is.

I think what makes carpenter's The Thing stand out from other body-snatcher type movies is the viscera. Up until that point the body-snatcher market had been inundated with plant-people and pod-people and fungus-people etc. Even The Thing From Another World (which is based on the same short story) had a plant-based lifeform as the villain. And I think a lot of this stems (haha) from body-snatchers being largely a metaphor for communism in American film. It's a very human-centric way to look at the world: all plants are the same, they're cold, they're unfeeling, they're totally rational, but vicious when they need to destroy man, to destroy progress. Making the Thing a meat creature really drives home how desperate it also is. It's also an animal, it's also trapped and terrified, and we don't know how rational it is. We don't know it's motivations other than to get out of the cold that put it in hibernation. Antarctica is a desert, it's unlivable. The Thing just wants to survive, and if that means taking another life, so be it.

In short I guess, The Thing is survival horror, both for the researchers and The Thing
