CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Attacked by a giant mutation of the Thing, Macready (Kurt Russell) blows it up, and a large part of the base, with dynamite.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
John Carpenter's The Thing is both a remake of Howard Hawks' 1951 film of the same name and a re-adaptation of the John W. Campbell Jr. story "Who Goes There?" on which it was based. Carpenter's film is more faithful to Campbell's story than Hawks' version and also substantially more reliant on special effects, provided in abundance by a team of over 40 technicians, including veteran creature-effects artists Rob Bottin and Stan Winston. The film opens enigmatically with a Siberian Husky running through the Antarctic tundra, chased by two men in a helicopter firing at it from above. Even after the dog finds shelter at an American research outpost, the men in the helicopter (Norwegians from an outpost nearby) land and keep shooting. One of the Norwegians drops a grenade and blows himself and the helicopter to pieces; the other is shot dead in the snow by Garry (Donald Moffat), the American outpost captain. American helicopter pilot MacReady (Kurt Russell, fresh from Carpenter's Escape From New York) and camp doctor Copper (Richard Dysart) fly off to find the Norwegian base and discover some pretty strange goings-on. The base is in ruins, and the only occupants are a man frozen to a chair (having cut his own throat) and the burned remains of what could be one man or several men. In a side room, Copper and MacReady find a coffin-like block of ice from which something has been recently cut. That night at the American base, the Husky changes into the Thing, and the Americans learn first-hand that the creature has the ability to mutate into anything it kills. For the rest of the film the men fight a losing (and very gory) battle against it, never knowing if one of their own dwindling number is the Thing in disguise. Though resurrected as a cult favorite, The Thing failed at the box office during its initial run, possibly because of its release just two weeks after Steven Spielberg's warmly received E.T.The Extra-Terrestrial. Along with Ridley Scott's futuristic Alien, The Thing helped stimulate a new wave of sci-fi horror films in which action and special effects wizardry were often seen as ends in themselves.

"Yeah fuck you too!"
One of the greatest lines ever
Il est tres Americain.
In german he says something like "not with me my boy" so akward to call the thing my boy.
It is one of my favorite one liners, said it to my ex when she left me for some dirtbag.
From 1:43-1:46, you can hear several different voices of The Thing scream out in pain and terror. You can only imagine how many different species of how many worlds you're hearing at that moment.
true
I also notice is that every limb, teeth, claws, hands, etc also belong to previous creatures it assimilated
I like to imagine the scream at 1:45 is Nauls lol
probably just the warped sounds of the various peoplw
@@foxtrot4real556 Thats what I was thinking while watching the movie.
As a cocky 7 year old kid, I can remember I watched this movie eagerly with my older brother. I wasn't able to sleep for 3 days straight. To this day(I'm now 18), It's still one of the best horror movies I've ever seen..
I felt the same way but with The Blob. That shit creeped me out as a kid. I saw this movie freshman year of high school and was more amazed by the story telling than terrified by the gore
+MrWillpower88
ugh, i forgot that movie, damn you
hey well I'm glad you liked my movie, it means a lot to me.
And did your brother touch u? C'mon you can tell us everything.
+Boomboom boom Do you know who is The thing here ?
It has the body of which character ?
I think it's pretty clever how MacReady's character meets a sort of book-end here; at the beginning of the film, the chess computer managed to outsmart him, so he destroyed the computer. At the end of the film, the Thing managed to outsmart him, so he destroyed the outpost.
That's a nice detail, I never really noticed.
Sometimes the best establishing shots are the ones you only notice internally.
The computer didn't 'outsmart' him. If you paid attention to the pieces there's no way it could have made the move it did to put him in 'checkmate'
@@jeremyallen5974 The Thing & the computer chested, so Mac broke the game.
All of this could have been avoided if Blair had eaten his goddamn oatmeal.
It's the right thing to do...
Justin Stearns no this could have been avoided if they killed that wolf
@@12prinsses you didn't get the joke, didn't you?
@@dunkanbulk14 I did trust me
All of this could have been avoided if at least one of 'em Americans understood Norwegian
What a movie. To this day, no matter how many horror/monster films I watch, the creatures from "The Thing" remain some of the freakiest monsters ever put to cinema. It's a real testament to the power of imagination.
It is, partly because the way the thing works is to morph a once-living being into an abomination. So you can see a little human/animal in this being while taking on some horrifying form/
you didn't watch death alive (1992) yet
Dayril Mandagir Oh my God, how could I forget that one! The sheer outrageousness was enough to make you bust one laughing, regardless of how gross it was at the same time. I'm still in shock that Peter Jackson, THE Peter Jackson, directed that. I guess it's true what they say though, directing is directing.
I agree. This film, for the time, was a spectacular sci-fi horror film, and still is. It has held up very well and I consider it better than the new version by far. When you watch Carpenters "The Thing" today, you cannot believe the quality of FX (with no CG). Rob Bottin was very young and created nearly every major FX shot in the film (with the exception of the transformed dog, which was partially done by Stan Winston)
Rob was 23 years old! WTF
Way to go Rob!
this movie is a true definition of scary.while most horrors was just a stupid jumpscare and loud shit
Alien, Predator, and The Thing..... the Three Kings of the darkest and scariest monster films ever made.
Haha are u serious, Predator? lol AND RONALD MCDONALD FOR SURE
+PHANTOM “SIG” That's just it. The three scariest things in the world. The hunter, the animal and the monster.
You forgot Terminator 1&2
The Thing Is an Mutated Human-Alien
+PHANTOM “SIG” What about the Fly? A disturbing human transformation into a fly
based on the dog creature coming out of the blair thing, and this could only happen if the cells had imitated a dog previously, i believe that blair became infected after doing the autopsy on the dog thing, so he must have had a few cells go into his body, slowly taking him, so when he gets cabin fever and starts going crazy trying to kill people, its not paranoia, his mind is being destroyed by the creature, before this he steals helicopter parts for the spaceship!
Dude... This what freaks me out the most about this movie. Not so much the effects, but the concept itself. It messes with your head. Messes with your trust. Drives you mad with fear and uncertainty. Gives me the goosebumps.
+Surgeon Inc. don't forget about a dog thing climbing out of the kennel. It was not found afterwards.
+AcheLone Didnt Childs torch it?
i think he didn't. at least not the one that tore the kennel roof and climb it
+Sydney P It also makes you distrust yourself because the thing doesn't take over you immediately. It copies you, lying dormant until it's threatened or there are more to be consumed. Anyone can be the thing
The Blair-Thing was obviously the MacGyver of them.... Building a flying saucer out of shit laying around in a shed lol.
*****
True. MacReady is Never scared of anything, really.
Entertaining America lol building a ship using screwdriver , pencil , chair and snow . Not even Macgyver can beat him ^^
Medivhmen
True
I thought he used parts from the helicopter/tractors and other vehicles that were in the camp.
Backwoods Films He did
Fun fact: Kurt Russel was nearly injured by the blast cause he didn't throw it far enough to get clear. They had decided to use real dynamite on film to capture the explosions as true to life as possible.
You mean he was nearly killed by the cut-scene explosion that wasn’t on screen with him?
That didn't happen with this scene, it's after the blood test scene where he blew up the Palmer-Thing.
That was when Mac killed Palmer thing, not in this scene
still, the practical effect is amazing
Can't be real Dynamite tho, probably just Powder. Dynamite requires Electric Detonators and can't be ignited with a simple Fuse.
1:33 Still badass to this day. Also the same guy who inspired the Solid Snake character.
............. seriously!?!
@@skeletonentertainment4201 Yep
@@maxell149 you ever look at an old comment and go "wow, i made that"
Although still played by Kurt Russell, you're actually thinking of Snake Plissken from Escape from New York.
He said [_] you too
This isn't even my final form!!
laxpors i'll take my chances with the xenomorph. The Thing can turn into anyone
No, it really isn't. I doubt it even has one anymore. Its probably absorbed so many species that even it has forgotten what it originally was.
You should see the form it takes in the movie tie in video game
The thing doesn't even have a form it's a mess of dog,human and alien guts with flesh,tentacles and crab legs
@@xavierreed6299 he is like majin buu
Blairs face when that thing roars, like it still experiences his pain, i kind of wonder if all the individuals were still in there somewhere, literally just disconnected not quite there but all the memories absorbed and jumbled inside some fleshed out hell. If you look at Norris as an example, as he was absorbed from inside out, he looked like he was in agony the entire time, as if the transformation must have been so violently rapid it interferes with actual human awareness. He must have felt everything before he became *it* so to speak.
+Lava91point0 Well the general belief seems to be that the thing destroys cells and replicates them. Meaning that it kills the original host before replacing them
+JamesGames101 Well yes, but with Norris, it's long been theorized his transition came about a little differently. Take the scene with the dog and mysterious shadow, some believe it was Palmer, I strongly believe it was Norris.
Lava91point0 hard to say, the whole transformation thing is fairly mysterious in how it affects the people. Guess it's up to interpretation aha
+Lava91point0 John said it was plammer he just used a stuntman instead
A similar theme was in Pet Sematary. The whole time the people were possessed by the Wendigo, they were in extraordinary pain.
Childs, the only black person to make it to the end of a horror movie
Did he?😉
I love my mom movie 😇
meme train - Yeah, but he & Mac are still gonna die anyway.

White girl
they just dont make movies like this anymore without fake CGI effects.
+steve b Interesting that you should mention that. The 2011 prequel was actually originally done with practical effects that were better than these, but then the producers overlaid them with CGI making them look fake. The team that made the aliens were pissed.
+porpus99 so they paid money to make pratical effects then they paid more money to make it CGI....wtf?
+porpus99 Hi
becuase they lazy ass cheap
Yeah, this "Doll Animations" looks more scary than any CGI Shit! For Sci Fi or Action an Explosions CGI might be good, but in Horror Movies real Puppets would be the better way!
1:04 I didn't even notice Blair's face the first time watching this.

+JK Browny Versus the crap you listen to? Nah.
He was pissed off during his intro because Songs of Innocence kept reappearing on his computer.
Erm, no. Funny comment though.
The Thing is a freaking genius. It knew how to cause paranoia amongst potential victims, build a flying saucer from scratch, and the first thing it does when going after MacReady is dragging the lever that activated the explosives down a hole. It's truly a terrifying creature when it comes to intelligence in addition to the obvious puke-inducing visuals.
I love when he say "How's it comin in there?" right before this and suddenly looks up with fear in his eyes. He doesn't even call their name or anything. In an instant they were both dead and he knew it. And he also knew hes was truly alone in that moment....and if he dies..it has no more enemies, nothing left to infect, and its won....
Perfectly said. This is the scariest, creepiest, and realist part of the movie for me.
That moment you realize that only you stand between an alien Lovecraftian horror and the destruction of all humanity.
My problem with the final monster is...well, it doesn't DO anything. it just stands there and growls at MacReady. It doesn't try to attack him or anything or knock the dynamite away. Why didn't it go back underground or swipe at him with its tentacles or...anything, really?
Yeah for a predatory creature it wasn't showing a lot of its instincts that it was previously in the film. That said, still a grade A movie.
Well, they ran out of money at this point. Nauls was suppose to have an on-screen death scene, but they scrapped it because of budget issues.
Filip Önell
It wasn't just budget. It was also because the proper FX tech to do such a thing didn't really exist back then as it does now.
*****
Childs' actor said he wasn't infected. And an alternate ending would show MacReady as human too. I think they were both human and they really killed the monster at the cost of their lives.
ShadowSonic2 in a game that's an aftermath, it's actually shown that MacReady survives but Childs didn't. it's theorized that Kate from the prequel found MacReady and saved him and later at the end that's when he pops up piloting a helicopter and that he may have picked up Kate
Such an underrated movie when it came out. Everybody was stuck on ET and it got overlooked.
The thing, phone home!
Same with blade runner
too graphic to be a blockbuster
I was so focused on the giant mouth and dog that I never noticed Blair's face on the side until recently.
H.P. Lovecraft's worst nightmare come to life.
not really. actual lovecraftian monsters are far worse
@@BOPBOPBOPBOPBOPBOPOB the thing was meant to be scary. Lovecraft somehow managed to make an airconditioning system nightmare fuel
Oh boy, Lovecraftian horror is far far worse than this
This is lovecraftian horror
@@GagsAnimation Yep, both John Carpenter and John W. Campbell, the author of 'Who Goes There?', were influenced by H.P. Lovecraft.
I remember watching this movie for the first time and it was in the dark...and usually I don't scared of movies but after I was done watching it, my dog walked into my room and I was terrified thinking my dog was The Thing!
+Deebo Molina hi
StygianTraveler141 hallo
Did you know the actor used an actual stick of dynamite in this scene? He almost killed himself with it, and didn't anticipate it to be so powerful.
+LittlePip It wasn't this scene, it was Palmer-thing's explosion after the blood test scene.
What was terrifying to me wasn't just the freaky, monstrous Blair-Thing staging a final attack on MacReady. It was the idea that the entire monster was just a *distraction,* something to keep MacReady busy while another, smaller part of itself scuttled off into the snow to freeze. The ending was one of the darkest, most ambiguous endings to a horror movie ever, and that perfectly reflected the paranoia that infused the entire story.
Instead of the dog coming out of the creature's side it should have been Naul's half-assimilated body trying to escape, reaching out to Mac screaming "help me!" Hah. That would have been ever scarier.
I like the idea but at the same time I think any part of the human that's been assimilated is just a mimic. That person would have been gone a long time ago so theres no reason for it to ask for help.
Majora 64 idk man, I like to believe that the thing kind of takes over your body instead of just outright killing you, you know? I think that’s much scarier. Being evicted by the thing instead of just being destroyed.
the alien has full possession of the host, it wouldn't do that.
I think it is Nauls and he points to the dynamite and Mac reacts on cue. It's like Nauls is telling Mac, "Kill me". "Use the dynamite."
@@majora644 Or it could be used as a pointless ploy to lure Mcready close enough for its tentacles.
John Carpenter is a GENIUS! This movie never gets old.
It doesnt get old, It Is getting GOLD
The Thing has Diabeetus.
+Kevin Beswick hi
Apple pie & Ice-cream.
Mighty Davies yeah, that'll kill it.
Make sure it can't get back to the mainland, back to a Liberty Mutual facility and its diabitiss will put it into a diabetic coma frozen waiting fro the rescue team to find it so that's no good, yeah just say one of the best one liners ever and blow it up, that works.
It's Pennywise The Dancing Clown
I have read that whenever the Thing assimilates a host, it gains characteristics from that host including knowledge/memories and those will remain on the next host the Thing assimilates, that explains why Blair was able to build up a mini UFO beneath the tool shed, because the Thing may have assimilated the UFO Pilot and therefore, gain it's knowledge to construct an UFO, assuming the Pilot knew how to build it up.
So that dog-like thing that emerges from Blair-Thing's chest is most likely from the dog-thing we saw before, so this could led us to think that the dog was the one that assimilated Blair.
Skar100
The dog being the one who assimilated Blair is a pretty good analysis I like it!@. I mean there are little clues that the director inserts in from time to time. But I dunno. Good eye though
The Dog-Thing definitely assimilated Palmer, who then assimilated Blair soon after he conducted his computer analysis. Blair conducted his tests before he was assimilated. It would make no sense for a Thing to conduct a test in private in a locked room. You can actually discern a rough timeline of assimilation by watching the movie carefully. Palmer was assimilated first, then Blair by Palmer, then while Blair is trashing the radio room Palmer is sabotaging the blood samples using the keys that Windows dropped when he saw Bennings being assimilated. Norris is assimilated by Palmer during a specific scene where neither of them appear around the rest of the crew (I think when Blair-Thing is being locked away, but don't quote me on that. I know for sure there is a scene where those two are missing while the rest of the station crew are gathered.) After that, no more people are assimilated until Childs is assimilated by Blair while Nauls, Gary and MacReady are checking Blair's shed. (The jury's out on that, but it makes sense to me that Childs was assimilated and then told by Blair to take shelter from the impending showdown to ensure that at least one of them would survive.)
While that's only my opinion, if you go over it it does make the most sense. It leaves no room for error.
+boondoxroxsox No you're right, one of the producers confirmed that the shadow on the wall was intended to be Palmer, so the first character assimilated was Palmer. Palmer obviously assimilated Norris and probably Blair as well (my reason to doubt about Norris-Thing to assimilate him is that he got the heart-attack problem and it would have been hard for it to secretly go to infiltrate in the shed).
I got my reasons to think that Childs was not a thing, like it make no sense for MacReady to survive against all the things in this film just to be killed/assimilated in a weak state at the end because one of the points here is that how can these few men deal with this smart alien parasite.
I see it this way, you may agree or not with it: Blair was intended to be the main bad guy and they get rid of him, they won the battle but not the war, because they most likely died because of extreme cold afterwards. So you got a tragic ending.
Skar800 The script notations confirm that Mac had a flamethrower beneath his blanket ready to torch Childs in case Childs made a move on him. In the end, it doesn't matter if he was one or not. If he wasn't, they both freeze to death, and if he was, Mac will eventually kill him and die of hypothermia himself.
Carpenter always wanted to do a sequel with Childs and Mac, so that lends credibility to the idea that Childs is human.
Skar800 Yeah. I think the rough timeline I've compiled is pretty accurate. The only thing we'll probably never know for sure is whether or not Childs was a Thing.
Anyone else hear those screams at 1:39?
yeah I heard it
Godzilla!
Nathan Donnelly your right I had a sick stomach and that dog came out of the perfesers stomach that was gros at the same time I was laughing because he said fuck u 2 I was cracking up
The Things scream is a collection of all the beings that it has absorbed
Uh yeah I hear a scream from the thing wtf else?
All aside Among Us references, the scream The Thing gave after it exploded will forever haunt me.
Actually the among us inpostors were inspired by the thing
We know
The alien hound popped out at MacReady like, "Hey man, did you miss me?"
1:35 Best finishing line ever!
Practical effects will give you nightmares :o holy crap
Scary-ass shit! Makes today's CGI look like fuckin' child's play. THIS is a monster!
idk have you seen the movie the life of Pi?
the lion is 99.9% cgi.
they combined the real lions acted movements and what they couldn't get the lion to do.
they made the lion do snipits and combined the snipits with a SUPER HD CGI to make it a flawless movie
Craft Kid
Craft Kid hay, its not a lion its a tiger
Gabriel Contreras "its "hey" not "hay" "hay" is for horses lol :P
but still its a tiger
1:38 My god the scream of the thing is so haunting. Combining elements of human, animal, and something else that is unidentifiable... Sounds like the scream of the alien and the screams of all the living things it has incorporated being in pain too

People normally say Alien or Aliens is the best Science Fiction horror movies .. Well I disagree.. this is the best Sci-fi horror movie of all time! then it Aliens and then it Alien , after that it Predator and so on , but Alien , Aliens and The Thing , all 3 of them are fucking masterpieces! but I just prefer The Thing more , i love this movie.
Totally agree. The creatures in this film are way more sufficient on how terrifying they look. Maybe they weren't that mobile and fast as the xenomorphs, but their slow movement is what makes them more creepy, just as much as how they're designed. It's just really a masterpiece in the horror move genre.
erm... have you seen 2001: a space odyssey?
I can imagine sleeping at night after surviving an encounter with the Alien. But, fuck, I wouldn't be able to close my eyes for 5 minutes after surviving the Thing. Speacially because of the paranoia it can provoke in you.
Suoirafen
The only reason why because the Xenomorph in particular was a scifi creature that was so exposed into pop culture and was over analyzed to the point that it's not scary anymore but still badass and scary at a certain extent but if you were to know nothing about it then you'd be ready for a some trauma from the fears of deep space because that thing in the original movie was no "bug".
First Alien was better imo, but i respect your opinion. Aliens is good but kinda overrated
Sounds like some kind of insect at 1:00
Cicada bug. Sorry for the late reply :P
The sound of a cicada is unmistakable!
I thought their was cicadas outside.
I eat cicada
I love how they used the the sound of Cicadas whenever the Thing is present.
After MacReady killed The Thing he became Ego
When Ego died we thought it's all over now but nope........
He gets a second chance in life and now he became Santa Claus
Seeing one of the most hardest monsters to kill by a big explosion is Godlike Satisfying.
In any other monster movie, there would have been a prolonged, knock down dragged out chase scene.
This was PERFECT.
The Blair-Thing was originally going to have a larger role in the final battle, but due to the limitations of the stop motion animation of the creature, the idea was scrapped
It's only now I notice Blair's head and God did he get ten times more terrifying.
That scream of the thing after the explosion... is terrifying.
Yup
+Tobidecai It almost sounded like Blair's voice amongst a horde of others....or maybe Garry's. It was pretty creepy.
Yeah Sounds like demon's death scream From hell
To this day, this is Carpenter’s best movie he’s ever directed and Russell’s best movie he’s ever acted in! Hands down!
Nobody told "The Thing" that Kurt Russell was coming and Hell was coming with him!
The nope level in this IS TOO DAMN HIGH
So.... scariest movie monster ever, right?
I had a nightmare about this once: I was in the same location that the characters in "The Thing" were in (I think it was an arctic research facility), and I was navigating through all the halls. But, I would constantly hear a distant roar. So The Thing was chasing me while I was exploring, at one point I ran into it and it took the form of the Blair version (this one).
"Yeah, fuck you too !"
...Why would you say that ?
For epicness...
...Or because Mac was a Thing, and he know what the roar means. Jeez. I'm crazy.
The Thing (1982): MacReady throws the dynamite
The Thing (2011): Kate throws the grenade
Kurt Russell, the 999,999th reason to love this movie out of a Million. (Aside from the jaw dropping puppet effects.)
I just love that final line. I actually laugh when I hear it. The reason being that he didn't resort to spitting out some cheesy, easily-quotable one-liner like you would see in a lot of films, but simply says what he's thinking (and what the rest of us were thinking). I just think it's fucking brilliant.
Also, I've heard a couple of sources claim that this creature was "stop-motion" or claymation, but it looks like the same practical effects that we have seen up to this point and I recall reading somewhere else that this monster took dozens of people to operate. Unless I'm misunderstanding what "stop-motion" means.
Alien’s best quote: “Get away from her, you b--!”
Predator’s best quote: “What da hell ar you?”
The Thing’s best quote : obviously this.
Really wish they could've done what they were wanting with this last version of the Thing. It deserved a grand final battle with the hero.
I don't think The Thing is evil as a whole per se, rather an animal with a built in desire to protect itself. It uses humans to blend in to take over. As Macready explained in the beginning.
Also, I think Childs may have been infected at the end but was too weak to defend himself/itself.
Also where did Blair get to? And Nauls? Where did he go?
Slamsam88 Didn't Nauls get killed by the Blair-Thing? But they just scrapped his on-screen death because of budget issues?
Windows committed suicide. He burned himself before The Thing could get to him. Nauls was killed by Blair Thing off screen presumably, and Doc was killed by Blair Thing when it assimilated his face.
Angel Lopez Windows? He got partially assimilated by the Palmer Thing, then Mac killed him.
Slamsam88 Uhh... No he didn't... Windows got killed by Mac, did you even watch the movie, or are you just mistaking Windows for someone else?
Incase you are, this is what Windows' looks like.

Fun fact: Blair was played by Wilford Brimley, who some of you might know as the "diabetus" guy.
DehOtherGuy so are you saying that diabetus caused all of this mess in the American or Norwegian camp ?
Medivhmen Possibly. :P
Fun fact: literally EVERYONE knows that
"Kurt Russel is awesome!"
I was a good boy and never cursed in front of my parents at all, even until they both passed away. I was watching this movie on TV with my dad when I was in my early teens. When Kurt Russell said this line, I was so engrossed in the movie that I said it out loud too. It wasn't until after the movie was over that I looked at my dad and realized what I had said.
He actually got a good laugh out of it.
Aliens gave me the spooks but no movie ever got to me like this one did. I ended up sneaking into my older brother's room and sleeping on his floor for a couple nights.
Love the reuse of king kongs roar in these scene
Fun Fact: If you listen closely to the Thing's roar, you'll discover that it's actually a slowed down version of King Kong's roar from the original 1933 classic. The more you know.
That roar, man!!!!!!
Dammit Blaire, you did it. You did all the diabeetus.
Shame we never got a proper sequel. Though the prequel, comics and video game were still pretty awesome.
a classic horror from one of the best director ever with unbalievable imagination and the ends of his movies always keeps you gessing ,fantastic
1:06-1:12 Is it me or does this sound like King Kong's growl from 1933?
Oh Crap.........
This movie is so underrated...worlds better than the 1950's "intelligent carrot" version.
Maybe someday they'll remake it...and not that 2011 prequel, which doesn't count.
William Sanders
That's cause they are both separate adaptations of the same book as The Thing isn't a remake of that movie.
***** I know they were both adapted from John Campbell's "Who Goes There?"...but Carpenter's 1982 version is a lot more faithful (and honestly, a lot higher on the horror and suspense scale) than the 1951 version with the "intelligent carrot" (No offense to Jim Arness).
The 2011 prequel was kind of underwhelming...for a "prequel" especially, at least in my opinion. And when you have the chemistry of Kieth David, Kurt Russell, and Wilford Brimley, under a directer like Carpenter, you have a movie that holds up well over the years. That's my opinion, anyways.

Do you think The Thing from Another World was a good movie but a poor adaptation of the book? and do you agree that there is a difference between a remake (a movie based on a film produced earlier and an original screenplay like Ocean's 11 or Hills Have Eyes) and an adaptation (being another adaptation of source materials like comicsbooks/novellas lke The Thing or Moby Dick or Dracula)?
***** Considering the time it was filmed, it was a good movie, if not a true adaptation...it certainly is better than "Horror Express". But Carpenter's version is just the gold standard. It had the right mix of horror and suspense, and the special effects didn't overwhelm the film, like in the prequel. To be fair, the 50's were an entirely different era...the 1982 version wouldn't have even made it to storyboard, let alone past the censors of that time.
And you can have the greatest source material, script and actors, but if you don't have the right director, you have the fiasco that is the latest Fantastic Four movie. The Dark Knight movies (NOT counting Joel Schumacher's jokes, or the '60s tv/movie version) are an interesting comparison. Both Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan really explored the character's dark personality and really breathed new life in the Bat.
In the end, the finished work should at least capture the spirit of what inspired it. Sometimes you can't get a faithful adaptation...particularly on celluloid. Other times, it gets nailed, and you just KNOW it.
+William Sanders hi
till this day I will not watch this entire movie and I'm a 90s baby. my mother laughs at me but I just got over IT
As a kid, I hated this movie and it always gave me nightmares. It took me years for me to watch this entire movie
You were lucky. My cousins peer pressured me into sitting through the whole thing and I did not sleep at all that night.
Man I feel bad for you.
It's a good movie really. Perhaps if you watch 'the making off', it will be easier to watch the Thing.
@love black you fine
I've never seen this movie until last night. A movie that is 35 years old, and still elicits suspense and paranoia. Mr. Carpenter, you are a genius.
One of thee best scifi horrors ever made. Music,acting; fantastic, we need a third one.
1:34 one of the best one liners
John Carpenter you Killed it with this movie.
1:06 ROAR!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe this movie is 40 years old and I wasn't even born yet not for 13 years
1:09 the sound it's making is like that of King Kong's roar (1933)
The thing was most likely one hell of a movie during its time.
The movie was ahead of its time.
Maybe one of the best movies I watched as a kid.
1:33 One of the greatest moments in motion picture history
The 2002 thing game is said to be canon by Jhon Carpenter himself
Yeah if I was in that situation and escaped, I'd probably spend the rest of my life in a mental ward.
One of my favorite lines of all time
I love the scene. It reminds me of Alien, when Ripley realizes she's the last one alive
very similar movies
1:08 Hmmm guess it can pretty much be assumed Resident Evil 7's "Molded" were inspired from this. The resemblance is uncanny.
Resident Evil always got inspiration from classic horror movies, it wouldn't be surprising
@@nodeberiaestaraqui93 ya I bet characters like Dr Birken are probably based off the Thing as well. A lot of of the big body horror in resident evil are definitely Thing inspired
That's one anti climatic boss battle
That screaming with the explosion
My god, after all these years and the countless times I have watched this film I JUST realised that the big Thing has Blair's face on the side of its "head". I always focused on the jaws and the huge teeth and missed it!! My my!
I believe Resident Evil 7 has a reference to this!
At one point Ethan (the protagonist) yells this at a boss.
Also a lot of the enemies in the game (called Molded) have gaping maws growing out the top of their human skulls, much like the various incarnations of The Thing.
IKR
0:55
I always wondered if the thing knew that was a trigger to explode the whole place? If the thing creature can also absorb memories and such.
I like how the Blair-Thing travels under the floorboards like Bugs Bunny digs through dirt
RIP Wilford Brimley, you were the greatest thing of this movie.
Awesome THING you did there in you’re response. R. I. P. All the greats are dying.
RIP Wilbur :(
I wish they made a movie called The Thing vs The Blob. Who agrees with me
The Thing VS The Flood. xD
They're sort of like the same thing.
Hans Orea
Yeah, I noticed. xD
See. If it actually gets made I hope it stars Adriana Grande and directed by the guy that directed the new Godzilla movie.
Raving Rando If you're talking about the Flood from Halo, then YES!
Like a boss 1:26
The thing that the Thing doesn't seem to expect is the willingness to neglect one's very own self preservation in order to assure not just destruction of the thing, but mutual destruction on top of that ..
Very good. The Thing isn't communist at all, it is very much a collective of individualists that will sacrifice and one up each other, but with an underlying sense of "as long as one of us make it" honour.
The human beings in Antarctica are acting as antibodies for all of humanity and life on earth, sacrificing themselves to assure the things destruction, therefore saving all life on earth, particularly human life.
One of my favorite lines in movie history.
