THE THING
From Another World!
Arctic researchers discover a huge, frozen spaceling inside a crash-landed UFO, then fight for their lives after the murderous being (a pre-Gunsmoke James Arness) emerges from icy captivity. Will other creatures soon follow? The famed final words of this film are both warning and answer: "Keep watching the skies! "A snappy ensemble. An eerie theremin-infused Dimitri Tiomkin score. Rising suspense. Crisp Christian Nyby direction. All merge in an edgy classic produced by Howard Hawks (Bringing Up Baby, Rio Brave) and filled with Hawksian trademarks of rapid-fire dialogue and of people united by do-or-die stress. Keep watching the skies and the screen. Don't miss a moment of "one of the best sci-fi thrillers of the 1950's" (John Stanley, Creature Features).
THE THING
John Carpenter's
Howard Hawks's original 1951 production of The Thing from Another World can be glimpsed playing on a TV that fateful October evening in John Carpenter's blockbuster hit, Halloween (1978). A few years later, Carpenter reteamed with his Escape from New York star Kurt Russell to do a remake. But while the first movie version of The Thing was in atmospheric black and white, Carpenter's 1982 version is in widescreen, full color, and features some of the most revoltingly explicit, surreally imaginative special effects (courtesy of FX-meister Rob Bottin) that have ever been seen on the screen. Researchers in the remote Antarctic dig up the remains of a spacecraft that has long been frozen in the ice. But the alien life unthaws and infects the living (not only humans but sled dogs too), living and gestating inside them. This Thing is chilling in every sense of the word, with plenty of terrifying, adrenaline-pumping moments that build it to a powerful and shockingly nihilistic conclusion. It's a harsh and uncompromising movie.
THE THING
The Prequel
This film serves as a prequel to the classic 1982 horror movie "The Thing." It starts with the Thing watching a group of scientists in Antarctica as they follow a signal across the frozen land. The researchers find a craft and make the decision to study it at their camp. When they go back to their camp, they discover the alien in the craft. When the scientists take samples of the alien, they unleash the alien. It comes alive when it thaws. The group suddenly discovers that the Thing is taking over the bodies of the other crew members. What follows in this horror movie are brilliant special effects and high tension action. The movie also fills in the plot points that were left out of the original. The DVD includes deleted scenes and commentary. "The Thing" stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton. It rated R due to the graphic displays and gore in the film. It is directed by Matthijs Van Heijningen.
