Review by David on 15th July, 2009
5 stars "Man Is The Warmest Place To Hide"

To sum up this masterpiece you are only to say two words..John Carpenter..he is in no certain terms the king of the horror genre and during the 80s and early 90s had movie goers worldwide screaming their little hearts out,what makes Carpenters movies so stunning is the fact that in many of the scenes he uses visual themes and no dialog from his actors to scare you and it does the job.
One of his first outings with Kurt Russell in the lead,The Thing is a true masterpiece,it prays on every persons worst nightmare..Trus­t…and what if someone you knew wasnt who they appeared to be at all.
For its day Rob Bottin's effects are amazing and there is enough gut wrenching blood and gore in this movie to have you wishing you handnt eaten your dinner before watching.
For those who have never watched a John Carpenter movie before it is a worthy note to the fact that Mr Carpenter wrote and dircted the original “Halloween” in 1978 on a shoestring budget,he created Michael Myers and the music to Halloween is unmistakeable,due for release on Bluray later this year it is sure to be a huge success again.

5 stars "A great classic."

If your a fan of Kurt Russell then you've already seen this one before. Typical Kurt Russell movie, great sound and blue-ray picture with this HD disc.

 
 
Review by Nathan on 4th April, 2011
4 stars "Turn the lights out and get ready to be frightened!"

This is an older classic, but still worth it as it packs good atmosphere and frighteners to boot.

 
 
Review by Frank on 15th February, 2011
5 stars "Scary viewing !!"

Lots of action with special effects of the 80's era.
Being absolutely brilliant , even with today's standards. Grossly entertaining, and on Bluray it's an absolute must for fans of this genre.
