Kimmel's View - The Thing

A Lens dedicated to John Carpenter's The Thing.

Quick Synopsis - A group of scientists are located in Antartica. Their claustrophobic world is turned upside down by the arrival of alien species, which can clone any living life form. The men must keep their wits in order to destroy the being. This is all easier said than done. No one knows who to trust as any of them could be an alien.

Everything in this movie just clicks for me. There's a great story with underlying themes, amazing claustrophobic atomspere, and gore.

This movie has very nihilistic approach to how a person interprets the changes or even disease that can build inside your body.

Also some of of the best special effects ever done, which still hold up amazingly well today. They just kick ass.

Go ahead, disagree. I dare you.

The Thing is the best movie ever.

Showdown!

How to interpret the ending?

MacReady & Childs are both humans. Since they cant trust each other, they are now sacrificing themselves for mankind.

One of the men is an alien. They will freeze and eventually be found. Then the process can start all over again.
