If you understood norwegian, you’d actually be clued in early that the dog wasn’t a dog. The guy shooting at it was yelling something along the lines of “Get away from it! It’s not a dog, it’s a thing! It’s imitating a dog!”
Oh damn. Okay that’s cool. Thanks for sharing
I consider this my favourite horror movie, and one of my favourite movies altogether, and I didn't know this! Thanks, that's super awesome.
Yeah... except that's exactly what a crazy person would say and you wouldn't believe them anyway.
@@BlackavarWD If you were one of the characters. As an audience member who knows norwegian you’d at least be suspicious
He wasn't that dumb he was the smartest there when he was alive
There are two kinds of people when reacting to The Thing:
"Aww the dog is so cute! Please don't let anything bad happen to it!"
"That dog is acting really sus right now."
See there’s a third way. My cat got very excited at the prospect of chasing a husky. So excited infact I had to confiscate her helicopter...
Imposter here looking kinda sus
I love dogs, god damit i got 4 of them, but i react to the second way
Wilford Brimley who plays Blair (the scientist who goes crazy and eventually gets infected) was a former cowboy and very strong for his age, not just in the movie. He was also the only actor who didn’t get physically ill during the autopsy scenes as he was used to butchering animals (they used real animal organs.)
Shaine White heard he was a very kind but tough man, may he Rest In Peace.
"How did they get all that stuff to Antartica" - By ship.
"Why would they even need dogs in the Antarctic" - to travel by sled.
I had to to stop. It got too much.
..........are u being serious about Dogs?................dogs at Antarctica have been proven throughout history, to be one of the most valuable assets u can have in those conditions.
@@booty2k I had to, as well. He's asking the dumbest questions...
They actually filmed in Alaska and tried to make it look like Antarctica
Answers to your questions : Why the recreational items?
To pass time when you're stuck for months doing research in an otherwise uninhabitable climate with no way in or out.
Why do you have all those dogs?
Sledding.
Why do you have a flamethrower?
To melt ice quickly.
And an insane supply of alcohol
The reason why the outpost has a flamethrower is because it's used to thaw out large chunks of ice. In the short story that the film is based on, the flamethrower was used to thaw out airplane wings and even create makeshift runways for any incoming airplanes (the short was written in the 1950s IIRC, which helicopters didn't become common use until after that). If you ever need any more info in regards to the film, I'd advise checking out the fan site Outpost 31, which has tons of info, including a FAQs and even speculation on who was infected and at what time.
Actually, the short story with the title "Who goes there?" was published in 1938 and written by John W. Campbell Jr. Under the pen name Don A. Stuart. 1951 was the year that the first adaptation, "The Thing From Another World" was released albeit it was a loose adaptation. Carpenter's flim is closer to the short story in many ways but has still visual influence from the 1951 flim as Carpenter has stated in various interviews it was one of his favorite movies growing up.
@@codiak2680 Ah, a man of culture as well! Nice!
@@DanielS2001 Always glad to be of help.
This is the week all reactors decided to watch The Thing apparently, not that I'm complaining!
Hahaha I think because it’s october a lot are looking to do more horror stuff.
@@TimotheeReacts could you do the prequel? I think it’s good enough
Harold Gage what’s the prequel?
LOL, facts
@@TimotheeReacts it’s just called the thing 2011
"Why do they have all of this!?"
lol - Dude, the outpost in this movie is a little shanty town compared to real life. You would be amazed at what they have down at McMurdo, Amundsen and Palmer stations down in Antarctica. Closest thing on Earth to living on another planet.
Is Palmer Station dedicated to Palmer?
"Why do they have all of this!?" from someone who'll probably go insane if smartphones, pc, laptops, facebook, twitter, tik tok and all social networks suddenly disappear from the world.
"How do they have all of this in Antarctica?"
They're a scientific research station. Why wouldn't they have surgical tools?
They have a flamethrower to help clear snow and ice around the camp when needed. As to why they set the creature on fire and then put it out fairly soon after, they can't afford to let anything inside the compound burn for too long because it will catch the rest of the structure on fire and compromise the structure and that shelter is the only thing protecting them from the harsh elements outside.
Seems like so many reaction channels made a silent deal and reacted to this movie this week
Hahaha apparently. I’ve recorded this a little while back, finally decided to upload it. You could say I was ahead of the trend 😎
And we are the winners cuz I love watching people reacting to it!
Natalie Gold has a pretty funny reaction to
@@douglasmckenzie3324 I love her reactions! She's awesome!
@@TimotheeReacts if you like these sort of films can I highly recommend a fantastic British TH-cam channel called Val verde broadcasting. They love the thing and these movies as well and their humour is simply fantastic. Highly recommend while your doing some editing ect
This, 1986's The Fly and 1978's Invasion of the Body Snatchers are some of the best horror remakes ever. 1988's The Blob is also worth watching
The real question is why wouldn’t u have a flamethrower?
Antarctica often requires the use of sled dogs.
I watch these reactions for the dog kennel, defib and blood test scenes. They are always worth it.
By the way the computer did cheat in the chess game
Blair was building that craft from the Ending of the Dog autopsy.. Pencil on thing then pencil in mouth = infection.. He chopped up the radio gear, and choppers for the parts. But to the humans in the camp, it looks like he is preventing them from leaving.. Blair is making sure they don't leave but he does.. Your correct it would take a long time to cut that hole in the ice, and to craft the ship. I think the Blair Thing was the best Camouflaged.. Him seemingly destroying the gear from our view, tricks us into thinking he has the best interest of the camp. = he needs the parts :(
The pen doesn't touch the corpse. It looks like it does because of the angle of the shot. And a doctor would not be this stupid careless to put foreign fluids in his mouth, come on... Also, why would Blair, as the thing, would bother running simulations to learn how the thing's cells work or what would be the outcome of it reaching the civilized world? Why would it care to know these things? No, Blair is infected at a later time off screen when he's left alone at the cabin. He destroyed the equipment because he knew from the simulation that the entire crew was doomed, being likely already partially infected, and knew the thing could not be allowed to escape. As for how it dug through to ice so quick, what makes you think it did it in Blair human form? We literally see it travel under the ice at full speed near the end as a monster thing. It probably did it this way, then reverted to Blair form to keep up the ruse.
Blair was infected that early on? I presumee that when he was locked outside, the Thing broke in and infected him, which was why the door was open. Has it been confirmed?
@@DubBossman1 nothing in the movie is confirmed. Except who's room the Dog went in first. It was Childs and Palmers, this I knew right off the bat. When Childs pass the blood test I knew Palmer would not :(. plus you can see it on his face :).
My evidence is when Mac looks into the Chopper the parts are missing [gutted out]. who cut them out? [ Blair did]. From what we know he kills the dogs, then got to the snow Vehicles first then the chopper. where he stashed this shit I have no clue, maybe dropped it in the snow. The creature spent a lot of time outside... Now it's more then possible, he was having help from Palmer to Assemble that craft. Minor help, Due to Palmer is around the men a lot. This is why I Focus on Blair being infected very Early on. This gives him, and us as the viewer to say~~ [ maybe he had enough time during the start to construct a tiny spaceship and dig a hole.]
In the shack he does not have the time to do this, but before he does + shack time.. not to mention not enough time to dispose of all the Snow/rubble from digging the hole. This was the part of the movie that had me stumped, until I said to myself. If Blair was infect at or after the Dog autopsy, this might have given him the time needed to complete this.
I’ve seen mayn’t people review the thing, but your review was hilarious! You and alanda Parker are my favorite movie review channels! Keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The liquid that was used in the dog scene was actually was twinkie filling mixed with ky jelly. They made quite a bit of most of it was used for the Norris creature.
Now, you really need to watch Alien (1979). Trust me you're gonna love it
Yesss it’s on the list of movies to check out. Btw I just watched Prometheus, didn’t know but apparently it’s in the same universe
@@TimotheeReacts kind of, sort of. I'm not convinced that Scott is able to connect the movies as much as he thinks he can. It feels more like he's revising the history that he created.
The thing is still better such an underrated movie
If I'm correct, during the defibrillator scene, they used a real amputee wearing fake arms for when the bite came down.
The ending ALWAYS gets me. Great suspense and mystery in this movie. A sci-fi classic!!!!
Yes...this is a Horror masterpiece
Incredible praticle effects
even an alien monster could not defeat a Bee Gees armed with a flame thrower.
What makes this so high up on the best of alien contact films is they do not try to 'humanize' it with relatable human anatomy. It may takeover human bodies but does not truly manage them as a human. It is very fluid and malleable and can change to fit its situation. That's really the creep factor and horror of it.
this movie has the best practical effects ever
that happened fast I commented this not even a minute ago
Ooh, you need to check out "The Thing" from 2011 as well! It is like the prequel to this movie.
A bunch of people freaking out about who might be infected while trapped in a snowy environment? Ok, The Thing is a 2020 Christmas movie.
Rob Bottin worked day and night on the creature effects so much so that he ended up in the hospital. John Carpenter demanded that he go. He was severely dehydrated.
Palmerthing looks really sad for a moment there, I feel bad for it.
STILL HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS. who got to the blood? when did palmer get infected? because he was already a "thing" when norris ate the doc's arms and when mac burned the head.. but he acted human. what was the original pilot of the ship?
Man this one is my all time favorite Sci fi horror film, me and my best friend's favorite movies are John Carpenter movies, and star Kurt Russel, mine is this and his is Big Trouble in little China.
i love this movie, and this was 1982 and this movie is like a new movie.
Flamethrowers are used in Antarctica to clear ice off equipment and helicopters.
Ahhhh damn. Didn’t think of that, makes sense
TimotheeReacts no worries. It’s typically a point that gets brought up as a strike against the film’s verisimilitude, but that’s because Antarctica is as much a mystery to most people as the surface of the moon.
Fabulous reaction!❤😊
One horror gross-out movie that I just saw for the first time yesterday was Slither. You should check that one out...
The dog still scares me. It’s so creepy!
@Osman Yousif I actually caught a few clips before actually watching the movie, inlcuding the splitting dog face and the chest scene, so I knew it was coming. I did not know the dog was gonna be so creepy before it started changing.
Have a look on google earth at 66 16’24”S 100 59’05”E. Tell me that’s not a saucer sticking out of the mountain.
thank the underrated Rob Bottin for the effects in this movie
but definitely, don't miss The Shining... and maybe consider seeing Christine, 1983
Can you tell me what story about the shining pls?
@@thefiery6484 Stop being lazy and look it up
You should watch the black and white movie this is based on: The Thing from Another World.
Other monster movies you should also watch are The Relic and Mimic
BURN IT!!! BURN IT!!!!!! 😂
You also watch big trouble in little China and escape from New York to LA from John Carpenter.
Ah nice. I liked this movie so I hope it like his other ones too
16:35 this is what u came for
Actually if you know chess the computer was cheating.. there was no way it was check mate..
Love all you videos 🖤
Thanks man, much appreciated!
The Thing is epic
When i first saw this film over 20 some years ago...i knew the dog was not..a dog...The movie is titled THE THING....the dog was getting shot at....1 plus 1 equals.= THE THING. When you think about it. .Gary was really the dude , responsible for getting everyone infected....If he wasn't so gun happy and if he had been more concerned about that Norwegian...he could have shot him in the leg or arm....and disabled him...then they could have learned from him..that the dog..was not a dog...But that would have made for a boring film...next reaction suggestion...Another Carpenter film...In the mouth of Madness...very appropriate ..after the Thing..
Excellent video about one of my all time favorite movies! Apparently both Mac and Childs are human at the end, according to Carpenter and other involved sources, but are doomed to die in the cold.
Ah okay nice to know about Child’s, I really wasn’t sure about him at the end
@@TimotheeReacts If you want to go down the rabbit hole, Google "The Thing Eye Gleam" and "The Thing Who Got to the Blood", as well as "The Thing Infection Timeline" for lots of info/theories/half-baked speculation...
The reason why some people still believe that Childs was a Thing at the end, is that his breath isn't steaming in the cold, like Macready's is.
@@winter1235 True, but there are several videos on the subject. If you look carefully, you can see Childs's breath when he first arrives; after that, because he is directly backlit by the fires, his breath is nearly invisible.
Some of the moster effects. You know every time I watch an anime film and they have creatures they tend to look like they come from this movie
Blair killed the dogs to make sure any thing couldn’t absorb them and disguise themselves. You don’t want even one of them getting loose and running away like the fake dog in the beginning.
One dog DID get out when they opened the kennel at the flamethrower scene...?
@@BlackavarWD That was before he killed them all. They got back the dogs that ran out.
Much more gruesome than AlienS! So messed up!
you're the bomb dot com timothee for choosing this movie & your reactions! please continue the spectacular work!
Thanks Kermmett! Glad you enjoy the videos, appreciated!
This is my absolute favorite Alien invasion film. It's always fun to see people react to this movie. Yeah that scene with Norris is my favorite. The visual effects are incredible there totally Trump Alien
if you can get a copy i would recommend the B.F.I cut of Ken Russel's The Devlis
The scary 'thing' is that Scream beat this in a poll ugh
Sen the howling 1981
The Tim!
This is a great movie to rewatch and try to track The Thing, the Thing prequel was received poorly, like this was, but is also real good.
Awesome movie. Now you need to react to another two iconic horror movies from the 80's: A Nightmare on Elm Street(1984) and Hellraiser (1987).
yess a nightmare on elm street is already on my list of movies to check out
Watch The Grey and Wind River
Great video you should react to shows
Yess I definitely will towards the end of the year/beginning of the next year
@@TimotheeReacts i will be looking forward to that i love your mcu reactions i have a question what happened to your friend you were with for some of the mcu reactions have a great day
It’s my little brother. I’m gonna try to convince him to come ona new reaction video. He’s camera shy and just didn’t like doing this. So at least he tried for a few vids then stopped
@@TimotheeReacts lol hes a natural at reactions i hope he comes back
Thanks, Timothee! 👾 #TimotheeReacts This is a remake of THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD (1951). And there is a prequel to this one, which is decent... THE THING (2011). It literally ends with the helicopter chasing the dog, so you get to see what all went down at the other camp. #TheThing #JohnCarpenter
Damn I didn’t know this movie was a remake of a older film.
When you're old like me (and you love movies like I do... and I know you do, too) you start picking up on all sorts of interesting connections. 😊
Wait a minute, were you crying in the thumbnail. Wow... bro... wow...
Please react to LES DIABOLIQUES (1955), a French thriller masterpiece
Very underrated film.
There's a video game and comic books for this movie
Oh really! A video game that’s cool
Childs is the THING as steam is not coming out of his mouth when he talks.
@Lucy Bubz you are rigth
Someone said the proof that Child's is a Thing is that the drink he has at the end is actually like a Molotov Cocktail... and he didn't react.
@@BlackavarWD yeah I’ve heard about this one too
Just 24 min?
Me encantó tus reacciones Tim!!😂😂😂
Da Ding
Gravity falls is good to react to its a cartoon
Please watch Ghostbusters for Halloween. It’s more comedy than horror but it’s perfect for the season
Ahhhh yess totally forgot about Ghostbusters, i’ll definitely have to check out that movie at some point
Kurt Russell was so sexy hot in this movie.....even with all that hair and beard.
I LOVE those blue eyes!!!
If I remember well the remake of Thing explain what happen before the orignial Thing
Timothee. I think your really pretty...
U need to react to The Thing 2011 to get know the prequel of this
The 2011 version is a must-see! Especially with this one fresh in your mind.
If it were really winter why is the sun in the sky?
Did no one bother to check what Antarctica is like during winter?
Norris died quick
"Hereditary" horror movie reaction?
The Thing 2011 please! 👀💙
scream beat the thing? wtf is wrong with ppl...
Not a SPOILER ALERT but if this is anything like the time my pee-wee football coach got in the shower with me after losing the winning game and saying he will be OK if I let him touch MY THING but don't tell... Nothing is going to happen!
@17:47 --THAT's What She SAID!
