The Thing (1981), John Carpenter, A Aug 27, 2009 | Jordan Hoffman's Movie Journal, Uncategorized | 1 | One of the sharpest (and grossest!) people-stuck-in-a-place-with-a-monster movies ever made. Dialogue, characters and pacing are just about perfect. I’ve never seen this on DVD before – only on crappy VHS. It is truly marvelous.
