Currently I have had movie nights with my brother at his apartment, every Thursday we watch two movies and last week one of them was The Thing. Now, I had never seen that movie before but now that I have I think it deserves a shout out on here at least. This movie is a classic of classics in all honesty. I enjoyed watching every moment and it had a good amount of mystery to it. The "Thing" referes to an alien entity that can consume and "copy" the creature it absorbs. Every person in the movie has a chance of being infected so no one trusts each other because no one knows who is really themselves, which provides for a good amount of suspense. I won't give away the ending, granted most people have probably already seen this movie but I must say it ends with a bang, literally. Before I forget, the reason this group of men do not abandon ship and run for it is cause they are in Atlantica in a sub-zero ice field. They don't explain why but they're in a Study Center and apperently an alien crash landed thousands of years before the discovery, very fascinating.

For my money John Carpenter's "The Thing" is one of the scariest movies ever made. For one, it's totally believable and the action slows only long enough for the suspense to grab you and then,Bam, scare the socks off of you. I have not see The Thing remake of this year but it should be worth watching just to compare the two.
