This is a remake of the 1951 film "The Thing From Another World" which is also great but this one is far superior. John Carpenter really understands suspense and atmosphere. The character development alone would be enough to make this film soar but it has so much more than that. This is one of my all time favorite movies.
A group of American scientists in Antarctica experience some strange things and start to realize something isn't right. As it turns out, a shape-shifting alien is afoot that can replicate anyone so tensions rise as all trust is lost. One of the craziest climax's ever lies at the end of this film.
While no film is actually perfect, movies like this comes very close. The script, direction, acting, atmosphere, special effects and everything else are just so dead on. If you haven't seen this, you need to.
P.S. the prequel of this movie came out yesterday. I haven't decided whether or not to check it out.
10/10 Jack O'lanterns
