The thing 1982

One of the first horror movies I watched all the way through and it has become my favourite horror film for many reasons, some of the best practical effects in film, incredibe writing that builds suspense all the way through, once the concept is introduced, you have no idea who to trust and the characters are written to act like real people ( unlike most horror films) a great classic and all together an amazing film.

"The Thing" movie still, 1982. Of the film's $15 million budget, $1.5 million was spent on Rob Bottin's creature effects, a mixture of chemicals, food products, rubber, and mechanical parts turned by his large team into an alien capable of taking on any form.
