Are you team Practical Effects or Team CGI?
Practical hands down. What Rob Bottin did was way ahead of its time. The dude came down with double pneumonia and an ulcer due to how hard he worked. Not to mention the fact he did all of this at age 21.
Practical.
Hello BissFlix please reacts the films Innerspace (1987) and Chariots of Fire (1981)
Practical effects!
Practical is a must over CGI
I genuinely consider this the single greatest horror movie ever made, and it's pretty widely regarded as up there by most big horror fans. Always find it interesting to come across people who come away from it with a different take.
It seems character development is sort of a nuisance for modern movie fans. It’s almost a separate category, a slow burn. But it’s just generational. For me, slow burn films like Alien, The Thing and The exorcist are easily at the top of the horror movie genre.
I guess you can find a philistine anywhere. i agree with you, it is one of the most suspenseful movies i have ever seen.
This movie had a great script and a great story but it's execution in the 80s was comical even for the time. I saw it in the theater at 14 and laughed my ass off. Not even close to horror.
@@warriorpitbull1170 that sounds like a regurgitation review from 1982.
@@warriorpitbull1170 If you were 14 or n ‘82 you watched “At the Movies” with Siskel and Ebert. Hell, there were only 5 channels then…lol
If you know the history of this movie you’d know most critics didn’t like it primarily bc of the gore. Most all of those critics have since changed their reviews and admitted they misinterpreted the movie the first time they watched it. The Thing appears in the top 5 to 10 of many all time horror lists.
Curious what you found funny?
For me It's a 5 star movie from any perspective. One of the near-perfect ones.
I agree completely.
She clearly isn't a fan of quality movies if this rates as a 1 star for her.
Great story telling. Practical affects. Real tension and high stakes. Most of the stuff made today is pure garbage.
@@TheMissingLink2yeah and that's really too bad. Definitely one of the highest quality films.
Guys this movie is so dated. Quality?? There are movies from time and beyond that stand the test of time. THIS is not one of them. Everybody in this thread probably went to go see it on a Friday night when they were 16 talking about the " good ol' days" riding around in your mom's '77 station wagon. Lol
@@FerventxTexan Interesting that you make this claim but give zero examples. I know you wish that insulting people you've never met constituted an argument, but it doesn't. Best you just don't say anything more.
That dog in movie was half-blood,half-Alaskan malamute,half-wolf,his name was Jed he was borned in 1977,in dog nursery,in state of Washington,the role in "The Thing" was first in his movie career,after this he played in another few movies,until his retirement,as an actor,in 1994, after this Jed constantly lived in California,in home of his owner, Clint Rowe,until his death in 1995,due to natural causes.R.I.P. Jed.🙏🙏🙏
Practical effects all the way .
The effects in this movie are freakin insane
The special effects won a lot of awards in this , no wonder ..
And this was done in 1982 , wow !
wtf?!
this is one of the best horror movies of all time and it aged perfectly and is just as good, if not better, than in the year it came out :((((
She has no taste in media
It's considered one of best horror movies ever made, the acting alone deserves 5 stars!
24:45 "Take out the smart people first." With the exception of Palmer the scientists and doctor where the first victims (Norris, Bennings, Fuchs, Blair, and Dr. Copper)
John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) is my favorite horror movie, edging out Alien. The build up of suspense and paranoia throughout the film is unsurpassed. The open ending has had people arguing about which character was taken over by The Thing for over forty years.
This was the apex of practical effects; CGI took many years to even approach it.
Hi Miss Biss!🙂It is true the general pacing of a film 41 years ago was normally slower. However, for 1982 the visual effects (that's what it was called back then) were considered ahead of its time. While principal photography only took 3 months in Alaska, the visual effects took over 1 year for Rob Bottin to complete. He ended up hospitalized for exhaustion, double pneumonia, and a bleeding ulcer from working day and night. Legendary Effects Master Stan Winston was called in to finish the dog kennel scene. How much he contributed to this has been debated. But he also helped out to a lesser degree with other scenes. Nice honest reactions to this 80's horror film/mystery, Bisscute!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽P.S. - Chicken soup broth twice a day is very good for a cold.🙂
My dad would put old black and white movies on and my brother and myself would criticise and make light of the film the whole way though, basically spoiling his enjoyment of the films that he loved. I now know how he felt.
This movie got trashed at the box office because ET came out a week before, and everyone had a positive perspective on aliens. 10 years later it was reevaluated and became one of the most loved horror movies of all time. It inspired other CGI effects for movies like An American Werewolf in London. The director of The Thing also directed Halloween.
Everyone's reaction to The Thing: "Please don't shoot the dog".
*Minutes later:*
"KILL IT WITH FIRE!"
Absolutely gobsmacked by the review. It's nothing to do with a millennial pespective, it's a universally loved, respected and appreciated movie. It's absolutely top tier filmmaking, acting and writing, with so many layers. You dont have to be from a certain generation to appreciate quality. Some of my favourite films were made well before I was born. This whole 'It's old so people my age won't appreciate it' just isnt true. We're not born in a vacuum. We're constantly surrounded by media from all sorts of timeframes.
The Thing didn't fake being sick, the person it assimilated (Norris) had a pre-existing heart condition. Like I said, assimilation. It takes EVERYTHING, from intelligence to how healthy you were at the time. It's a hive mind that can split itself and pretend. Also McCready gets a decent understanding of this when he decides to do his own blood test, every tiny little part of it is _The Thing,_ down to the blood cells themselves. It's actually a pretty terrifyingly advanced creature. And if the spaceship crash is any sign of how dangerous it is, it MIGHT have already done this to another species in the cosmos which is why it's crashing in the opening.
In 2011 Hollywood made a prequel to this movie called "The Thing" (how original!). It stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton. The basic premise is essentially the Swedish ("They're Norwegian, MacReady.") discovery of the space ship and the thing. You might find it interesting. Anyway . . . .
Honesty is the best policy: if you don't like it, nobody should you for it. After all, it appears that it wasn't a movie you picked, it was picked for you - hell, you were paid to watch this movie. When I watch a movie and tell someone else about it, I classify it into three categories: 1) don't waste your time; 2) it's worth watching once but after that, I don't know; and 3) definitely one to go out and buy.
The slow pacing builds the tension and feeds into the overall sense of paranoia, claustrophobia and impending doom. But, if you are not a patient person, then you won't find that to be the case. You did have a nice jump scare with the blood test scene though.
I just saw this for the first time last week, and its probably the best horror ive ever seen if not one of the best movies ive ever seen.
The beginning is spoiled if you speak Norwegian because that guy is yelling that it's not a dog, it's some sort of thing.
I don't speak Norwegian, but I was trusting the Norwegians from the start. Perhaps I don't like dogs enough...
33:42 It's important to remember, Norris and Palmer were both Things. They most likely started building this before Blair was locked in the shack. The dog infected either Norris or Palmer before it revealed itself, so one of them has had some time to work on it before this.
the idea of the creature is from a 1938 short story called "Who Goes There?" by John W. Campbell. Most of the best adaptations of sci-fi short stories were done in the 2 shows The Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone.
Just a quick explanation of how the _The Thing_ works. When they say (and I don't know why the script choice to use this word, because I KNEW it would confuse the average watcher, but whatever) "imitation" they really mean _assimilation._ Assimilation means you become part of _it._ So it would 100% have ALL your memories and personality (even pre-existing health conditions of the body) because it assimilated your brain too. Now what isn't clear is if the people that are assimilated, die or become part of it's sort of hivemind and forced to watch (and feel, even more horrific is the case) themselves be puppeteered by the thing. The Thing LITEREALLY becomes you after eating you from the inside... And not in the fun way lol.
I think they may have chosen "imitate" over "assimilate" in the thinking that the average movie-goer wouldn't understand what "assimilate" meant. There have been other movies, the names of which escape me now, but in the director's comments they've discussed just such changes for that specific reason; the directory didn't always agree but sometimes the studio demanded it and thus changes are brought in which end up confusing people who weren't so stupid as the studio thought they were in the first place.
Unfortunately a memory test wouldn’t be very effective because when the Thing assimilates a new life-form, it takes over and copies every aspect of the host, including the brain. This means it can absorb the memories and personalities of its victims. This is seen throughout the film as The Thing imitates not only the physical appearance, but also the habits and mannerisms of its host, allowing it to blend in, and choose when to attack. Since it’s probably already assimilated countless life-forms on other worlds, that would make it not only highly intelligent, but also very elusive.
If it's so intelligent why would it imitate a defective heart like one of the guys had?
Antarctica is the furthest you can get from Santa’s home he lives in the North Pole
Fun fact: In the original short story the Thing also had telepathy so it copied not just your cells but your memories as well. Asking them questions wouldn't matter. The imitation is near perfect.
It would copy your memories by the nature of copying your cells perfectly anyway, it'd copy the same properties of each neuron that determine when it fires
In this movie the Thing definitely copied the memories and knowledge of whatever organism it took over. It must have absorbed the biochemical memory storage in the brain.
the Norwegian guy at the start says "its not a dog, its some kind of thing"
and
"get away idiots"
so for us Norwegians and probably most swedes and danes it spoiled the suprise immediately xD
I admire your honesty but I consider this one of the best horror movies ever and many other people feel as I do. You didn't seem to become engaged with the tension between the characters not being able to trust each other. If you are watching on a tablet or phone, I suggest watching the movies on a larger screen; it may help with the immersion.
It's interesting seeing the different perspective. Younger people look at an old movie like this and don't like it because it's not slick and full of CGI like a modern movie and they think the practical effects look fake but for someone like me when I look at a modern move with all the CGI and slick style, I think that looks fake and the slick stye has made all modern movies look the same and very formulaic. Old movies feel more real and unique to me and I think part of the reason is because back then actors were dealing with practical effects and doing real stunts which made it all feel more real for them and the audience. With modern movies I often feel a disconnection that comes from an overuse of CGI. To be completely honest the early reactions to "The Thing" wern't very positive but over time it’s become a classic and a much more appreciated movie. It might have been ahead of it’s time. It’s not a perfect movie, some of the acting comes across as wooden but I think that added to the feel of the movie. I would say, 9 out of 10 time I would rather watch a movie that was released 20+ years ago over a movie that was released in the last 20 years.
Gremlins (1984), Poltergeist (1982) and An American Werewolf in London (1981) are 3 great ones you should have on your list. Thank you for trying to do more older movies!
She's just gonna shit on those old ones too
It's not about taking offense but about looking at the film as objectively as possible. I understand that subjectively it may seem to have a slow pace and that you are used to faster action, but objectively slow are the films of Bela Tarr or Tarkovsky. Here the action moves at a natural pace and there are virtually no unnecessary scenes. Each one is either an exposition on a person's character or adding a brick to the intrigue. As for the special effects, you only have to pay attention to the year of production to be clear that no CGI is involved. These are all practical effects that Rob Bottin worked on 7 days a week, continuously for an entire year. This makes everything look natural and gross, which can't be said of the full of CGI version from 2011. You're entitled to your own opinion, of course, but within this film genre, the film deserves to be called a classic.
Hi Biss, I love your reviews (especially the horror movie reviews). Since you're reviewing horror classics, I would love to see you watch and experience the 1973 classic, "The Exorcist".
So for horror suggestions, here are some good ones all containing a lot of humor:
- The remake of The Blob with Shawnee Smith and Kevin Dillon
- Arachnophobia with Jeff Daniels and John Goodman
- An American Werewolf in London, brilliant film and bloody good time
- The Jerk, a sequel to Carpenter's The Thing with even more gore
- Tremors is a fun time, with Kevin Bacon. It's basically JAWS inspired by an SNL sketch about a land shark.
- JAWS! My favorite movie of all time.
- The first remake (1978 iirc) of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. So creepy and paranoia inducing. But maybe too slow for Biss.
- They Live. Masterpiece of metaphorical horror/sci-fi with Rowdy Roddy Piper and the longest fight sequence on film. Another Carpenter classic.
The Jerk?!
isn't that the one with Steve Martin?
there is no sequel to The Thing... the Jerk is a comedy....
@@wiseguy01 shhhh
You forgot the best horror comedy of all time: Tucker & Dale vs. Evil
@@Shifuede Yeah that's a good one. Also Cabin in the Woods!
She doesn't seem very scared of the stuff, more like she's mildly bored... She needs to watch the exorcist I guess...😂😂
You should definitely watch more from John Carpenter! He is an old school master of filmmaking. Horror is definitely his preferred genre. 27000 hours is about 3.08 years.
Normally I'd agree, but if she didn't care for this movie, then I don't see how more Carpenter is going to be up her alley.
The Thing 1982 not only has a 2011 made prequel but also a few comic book sequels.
A movie from the 1880's ?? Thats amazing!
I remember watching this movie when I was just an aspiring film student.
By the end of it, I thought it was mostly 'ok'. But for a reason I couldn't understand at the time, the movie stuck with me. For example, 3 weeks after watching it I was having random thoughts about the movie and specific frames that were both beautiful and symbolic.
I remember thinking "what the hell?" because we are meant to forget unremarkable experiences. That made me realize that the movie had something special, something that I didn't pick up consciously but my unconscious did.
Perhaps it wasn't unremarkable but terribly bad that it stuck with me?
I watched it again like 2 monrhs later and I instantly figured it out; The Thing it's like a trance, it traps the viewers with stunning visual and audio design from the beginning. Even the opening shot I think it's brilliant in its simplicity.
It's one of the few movies that make me feel like I'm there, so far from civilization. Surrounded by the snow and the deadly cold temperatures. It's suffocating.
I believe this movie ranks amongst one of the best in the history of cinema. The artistry and craftsmanship it's impeccable. I cannot put into words the way it makes me feel.
I can't blame you for not liking it because I had similar thoughts the first time I watched it.
Maybe one day you'll change your mind. Or maybe not, which it's completely valid. I still think it's an amazing film to think about, to analize and dissect.
The thing takes it all, memories of that person. There is no trick questions, it could be your dad, and you would never know.
"The Thing" has a score of 84% on "Rotten Tomatoes" and 8.2 on IMDB.
Cabin Fever = a condition of slowly losing your mind, going "stir crazy" from being cooped up for too long.
Speaking of which, that's a couple of movies you can check :
[2003-SEP-12] CABIN FEVER = Horror movie about a deadly virus (no supernatural scares, winky winky ;-) )
[1980-DEC-12] STIR CRAZY = Comedy about two friends who are wrongly convicted on a bank robbery due to mistaken identity (the real crooks impersonated them) and circumstantial "evidence". The pair must figure out how to survive inside until they can prove their innocence. (I think you will REALLY enjoy it!)
And if you enjoy Stir Crazy, you may also enjoy the same pair in another comedy :
[1989-MAY-12] SEE NO EVIL HEAR NO EVIL = Two friends - one blind, one deaf - are "witnesses" to a crime, which once again, they are presumed to have committed due to circumstances. However, rather than end up in jail, they set out to prove their innocence themselves.
This is one of my favorite reactions of this movie. Your accent is absolutely beautiful. Also your giggle is adorable.
The Thing does absorb the knowledge and memories of who it imitates so it would have the knowledge of creatures from many worlds.
I love this movie for the Lovecraftian tematics. The movie Thing from the 2011 is a prequel and At the mountain of madness is a complement too. Thanks for your reaction.
That dog was actually half-wolf, which was a big reason why it behaved so atypically for a husky.
Cabin Fever (means you went crazy being stuck inside for a long time).
"Cabin fever is the distressing claustrophobic irritability or restlessness experienced when a person, or group, is stuck at an isolated location or in confined quarters for an extended time"
It's fun that you figure out there was something wrong with the dog when they try to kill it at beginning and a whole base of scientists didn't even bother to put him in quarantine. Still 1 STAR rating is a bit rough for a movie having 8.2 on IMBD (#152 rank)😅
Among Us was inspired by this movie. And there is a prequel/remake made in 2011, also called The Thing that is faster paced, with more CGI.
21:32 The Thing can perfectly imitate memories too.
I wonder what Biss would do if she was in The Thing?! Scared of the cold? Oh no, it’s 30 outside! 😮 Best dog acting ever.
There is a prequel made in 2011 that uses more cgi instead of practical effects. You should give that one a watch to see if you like it a little more. It's about the Norwegians that dug the thing up first
Thanks for your reaction 👍 And welcome to John Carpenter's world.
If you prefer "spiritual" horror, try The Exorcist! Thanks for being so open and fair-minded. No-one has a "wrong opinion", and you are as entitled to yours as anyone else is to theirs.
This movie 🤣 saw it when i was very young once, this will be a second time with biss 😊 mostly for jumpscares 😉😁 great one biss. Its always funny to see stay safe everyone
Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .
I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
I've seen many being scared. I've seen several ones loughing. However now I see a fully relaxing person reacting to the thing for the first time.
yeah, pretty bizarre tbh
Stopped watching when you said it was all jump scares with no tension, really disagree with that.
Oh, this should be good. I'll have to put my headphones on low volume for this one.
Where do you think "Among Us" came from?
Dont hurt the girls brain with making it think
There's a remake with Mary Elizabeth Winstead that you would probably like better. I think it's pretty good for a remake.
The Thing copies everything perfectly. Norris had a bad heart and as a result, so did the Thing. It panicked then, not knowing how to play it off. It decided to play dead, but being shocked caused it to defend itself.
Norris was having a heart attack b/c when the Thing imitated him it couldn’t imitate the inorganic matter of his pacemaker. He was likely the first person infected, likely by the dog in the opening scenes.
Also they do succeed in killing the thing in the end. There's a alternate comic series where Childs and McCready are rescued, but the thing survives too and they go on missions tracking it & killing any remnants of it. So I like to imagine that in order for the thing to die, Childs and McCready have to also freeze to death. EVERYONE/THING dies. And don't feel too sad, freezing to death is literally THE MOST peaceful way to die.
The only thing I don't like about this movie is I wish they hadn't shown the alien spaceship at the start and left you guessing.
Blair definitely touches his pencil eraser onto the Thing's remains at 13:07. 10s later, he's touching the eraser to his lower lip/chin. But even then, his flimsy latex/vinyl gloves barely go up his wrist, and that material breaks and tears extremely easily anyway, so probability he got physically contaminated by touch while rummaging around inside its innards is pretty significant.
All confirmed by the director to just be fan theories. Certified not how he was infected
When Mac is playing chess with the computer, the screen shows the computer make an illegal move. It cheated, so he killed it.
Fun fact. Rewatch the last scene. In 100 below weather only mccready has breath, while childs does not.
Imo that proves childs is not human.
Another "don't hurt the dog" reaction 🤣
I think that Mac realised that you probably can't affect a shapeshifter by shooting it. That's also probably why the Norwegians SEEMED to miss the 'dog'.
Someone left their 'dirty drawers' in the kitchen trash can BEFORE the Thing got to Bennings.
When Windows found Bennings he dropped keys on the floor.
The Thing DID go for the smartest one first: Blair.
Norris had a heart attack because he must have had a bad heart when the Thing imitated him.
Clarke was human, but MacReady killed him in self defence.
Blair must have been infected before he was isolated. THAT'S why he 'destroyed' the helicopter and communications.
Was Garry killed or infected when Blair 'grabbed' his face?
We never see Nauls die. We just assume it.
At the end, Mac's breath is visible because of the cold. Childs' breath isn't.
Mac gives Childs the bottle, but doesn't drink from it. Is it likely that he was carrying booze, or a molatov?
I agree with you totally about the dog-Thing probably being immune to bullets but I think Blair was still human when he destroyed the chopper, the tractor and the communications. If you listen to what he's saying he knows he can't trust anyone and that if the Thing gets to civilisation then humanity is doomed so he's just trying to isolate the camp and keep the Thing contained. Garry and Nauls were almost certainly absorbed off-screen and if you look very carefully you can see Childs breath at the end of the film...but even if you couldn't so what? 😉😊
Blair was absolutely taken over first.
@@21stcenturyhiphop And you know that because...?
@@eddhardy1054 The producer of the film literally confirmed it, and the film does too if you follow it closely.
@@21stcenturyhiphop Couple of questions. Firstly which producer (there were two)? Secondly If you follow the film closely (which I have over the last 35 odd years) it's far more likely that Palmer or Norris were infected first. As an added bonus if Blair was infected why would he/it smash up the chopper (his only means of escape at the time) and the communications room all the while ranting about how the rest of the team didn't know what was going on and about how the Thing (which according to you he was) wanted to absorb them and be like them? Wouldn't these action just give him/it away? It would be like Norman Bates dancing about infront of the police while yelling "arrest me, arrest me, I'm the psycho!" Your theory just doesn't make any sense 🤔
Technically all dogs are mutts, they’ve just been bred enough times between two different breeds that are also mutts to be labeled a “pure” breed. For example, a Great Dane is a mix between a mastiff and a grey hound. We’ve just selectively bred dogs for a very long time, and only consider certain aesthetics to be desirable. It’s the same with flowers, weeds are flowers, but we call the ones we like flowers, and the ones we don’t like are called weeds, even though they are the same.
"Don't shoot the dog !" +1 😊
Admitting to not having any patience for watching movies probably isn't going to win much sympathy. Whatever a movie has going for it, it's a trade-off for pay-offs. To get the tension and jump scares, there needs to be buildup. To get buildup there needs to be time with the characters and the problems or mysteries presented. Those all tend to be diffused the more that overblown CGi is used. And it is overused exactly because there are fewer practical or grounded artistic considerations when it's all "fix it in post." The less a thing hides in the shadows, the less tension or fear there is for anyone watching. It's all a balancing act. The movie may look dated in some or a lot of spots, but the EFX gloss isn't what should give a movie any weight, exactly because so much of it now is common and thoughtless or disposable.
You can watch the second film about THE THING (prequel, but more modern)
Only thing is, if it had been the 1st week of winter in Antarctica, the sun would have never risen above the horizon.
Not offended. Gen Z's attention span is ruined by TickTok
Interesting take to be fair, The special effects are basically universally agreed upon to be amazing since basically no CGI, like I think the ship at the start was it
Also you kept being like oh this is like Among Us, but that game came out like 35 years later, so Among Us was more a copy of The Thing
Interesting take tho
Yeah, kinda shocked by this one to be fair.
Same with a lot of the comments agreeing.
@@omegashinra7672she has proven many times she has very little taste in classic films
9:11...I'm pretty certain you can perform an autopsy on anything that was once alive. Not sure why you think it's only done on humans 🤔
The sequel is actually the prequel in the Norwegians camp explaining the find.
Our parents had us see this while we were still in elementary school, glad you got this out of the way now
Oh man I'm so in for this!
This movie has one of the greatest jump scares ever, and it's so simple and subtle.
"That's not the best fake blood...." erm that's not blood at all.
No hard feelings. This is my favorite all-time movie. I think it might be possible that the fact you are familiar with the game Among Us and that it coming out relatively recently may have taken away some of the tension and paranoia that this movie originally imparted. I have always seen it as the ultimate combination of a monster movie and a mystery. And like most of the best mysteries it occurs in an isolated location where no new suspects can be introduced and no one can escape. I also really liked the fact that the director intentionally did rhe opposite of almost every other monster movie. Usually, you never get to see the monster fully until the very end of the film. In "The Thing" the first thing that you see at the beginning is the monster, running in an open snow field in clear sunlight.
She has no taste in media or films
1. The Norwegian killed himself so The Thing couldn't get to him.
2. The ultimate hand grenade throwing FAIL 🙄🙄
3. You have to realize that this movie came out long before CGI so there was some very creative practical effects goin' down here.
4. Mac's not a murderer. Clark was attacking him with the scalpel. It was self defense.
5. Of everything that went down the part that got me the most was when Blair was dragging Gary by the face.
6. Their fate is left up to the audience. Maybe it's best they all die.
7. They're re-making this sans Carpenter and Russell.
8. Another Russell/Carpenter product you need to first time/share with us is "Escape from New York".
When you said, "What could go wrong?" I 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like the first movie with James Arness of Gunsmoke who played The Thing. But this version was ok..I love when you call yourself a cheekcan with that adorable Romanian accent! 😂
you can give it a 1, but while you werent looking, the 1 infected and took over other 1's, and now its a big 1
This movie's so tense, love the ending.
Seven nations have territorial claims in Antarctica: France (Adélie Land), United Kingdom (British Antarctic Territory), New Zealand (Ross Dependency), Norway (Peter I Island and Queen Maud Land), Australia (Australian Antarctic Territory), Chile (Chilean Antarctic Territory), and Argentina (Argentine Antarctica). vThe United States, Peru, Russia, and South Africa have all reserved their right to claim territory in the future. Brazil currently has a "zone of interest" but not an actual claim.
The "Husky" was half-wolf/half-Alaskan Malamute, so he actually was a mutt! 😄 The crew thought he was an excellent animal actor and as I viewer I certainly agree! Also, the rifleman in the chopper was firing at a moving target from a moving platform. Bear in mind that he also was a scientist, not a sharpshooter. A very well-armed bunch of researchers it seems, including the US camp where a flame thrower apparently was necessary equipment for Arctic research 🤔
Thanks for your honest opinion, although I think a 1 is a bit harsh. It's a bit sad that many people these days seem to have a problem with slow-paced films (and even slow-paced games), I don't think that's a particularly healthy trend. Regardless, I do prefer reactors that are honest instead of being sycophants, so thumbs up!
Edit: Oh, as for practical effects vs CGI, I'm in the camp halfway between those camps! 😁 I believe that practical effects enhanced with CGI is the way to go! There are some who are using this approach today, e.g. the excellent horror director Mike Flanagan.
Mac won't Die: his shack is still intact in the distance, you can see it on the second explosion. It's also where he got his drink and over coat from, but he can't let Childs live. "wink wink"
The only way to get rid of monsters is fire,freeze them, electricity
Cool you can look in two perspectives.
Ms Bizz, this is one of the Greatest movies 🎬 ever made. Please don't find fault with it......or the guys at the Antarctic outpost😢.
I think Bisscute is the only person I would trust to have around in a dangerous situation. But she might end up accusing me, lol
this film was panned by the critics and didn't do so well at the box office. cable-movie channels revived interest in the film and turned it into a cult classic.
i'm not sure why, but this is one of my favorite films. its definately my favorite kurt russell film. the ensemble cast is incredible. and the antarctic cold is yet another character. its just so fun to watch. and the ending is wonderfully vague.
i suggest you steer clear of "halloween" and "friday the 13th" crap. they're not real horror just shock schlock! i just thought i'd add this info for good measure.
I can’t get frightened by spiritual horror, since the spirit world doesn’t exist. But the existence of an alien life form is at least plausible.
The Thing 2011 was prequel, told the back story of the 1982 The Thing!
I like both of them, I went through The Thing phase.
I still think they need to make a 3rd The Thing and pick up were 2011 The Thing left off and get Mary Elizabeth Winstead to reprise her role. They can her find the American research camp, no survivors and then have the thing make it back to the real world and start wreaking havoc in human civilization!
They can create a better scary Sci-fi The Thing with modern technology!
My favourite horror. I believe it was the last horror made with 100% prosthetics & that's why it's so creepy!
One of my fav films
Good movie. You should watch and react to "Tremors"
