Horror-meister John Carpenter (Halloween, Escape from New York) teams Kurt Russell’s outstanding performance with incredible visuals to build this chilling version of the classic The Thing. In the winter of 1982, a twelve-man research team at a remote Antarctic research station discovers an alien buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Once unfrozen, the form-changing alien wreaks havoc, creates terror and becomes one of them.

    "Maybe we're at war with Norway" Now that's a good plot for a story
  • @rmmartins133
    One thing people understood back then but most seem to have forgotten: horror movies are about people, not monsters. The characters, dialog, even details like the way they dress, slang, etc. THIS is what makes a movie memorable.
  • @satireisnotdead5804
    "Look at Palmer, he's been the way he is since the first day." brilliant foreshadowing.
  • @submale5892
    Still one of the best films ever made, the practical effects really are ageless and make it all so much more believable and disturbing.
  • @thepaulhenderson
    I think we can all agree that the increase in definition and color grading make it all the more obvious that Kurt Russell is one of the coolest mutherfu@kers who ever lived... Also, The Thing deserves to take its rightful place amongst the upper pantheon of Universal Monsters and should be celebrated and merchandised as such.

    He’s there , constantly in the background , weaving his magic throughout the whole film. The unsung genius of the film ……Mr Ennio Morricone.
  • @thearcadeinsane
    One of those movies which can be rewatched again and again, and every time enjoying it as if watching for the first time.
  • @hfactotum1
    A masterpiece of isolation, distrust and hopelessness...
  • @natesturm448
    "Hey thanks for thinkin' about it tho". Honestly one of the best stoner deliveries I've heard.
  • @DestroAzureDx
    It almost looks like it came out in 2015 which is pretty amazing
  • @indigosun
    One of my all time favorite movies. That ensemble of actors really gel.

    For anyone on the fence about double dipping, the Universal 4K/UHD BD release is a fabulous upgrade. There's an obvious increase in fine detail, but where this new release really shines: the color grading is finally spot on, and the use of HDR puts it over the top. It's never looked more real/3D than in this release. The flares pop with realism. The flashlights in the infamous kennel scene make it feel like you're in the room with them. The blue runway lights on the snow at night. I was nervous that Universal might drop the ball on this one, but it's spectacular. I only wish they had included the OG 4.1 sound mix from the Shout release.

    One of my top three all time favorites. I first saw this at the age of 15 in the mid 80s on VHS tape with a buddy in a dark basement in the middle of the night. SCARED THE S* OUT OF ME AND I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!
  • @destinycaptain247
    Universal… why you don’t have anything in your parks based on this 1982 version of the story is beyond me. You own it. Not like half the IP’s you have to license to have a presence there.
  • @broncocat1867
    Looks fantastic. Still a perfect movie. It's aged well.
  • @redleg1971
    I love this movie! It's one of my Top 5 favorites of all time! I watch it three or four times every year, and at least once around Halloween. I hope the Blumhouse remake based on the newly released expanded novella "Frozen Hell" is good too.
