Blair was actually the most sane. The simulation told them point blank that if the creature makes any contact with the any population, humanity is doomed. So Blair immediately destroyed all communications devices and vehicles to protect the world. Loved you reaction! I remember my brother and I watching this growing up. Hope you both have a good day!

@Docjonel Год назад

Yes, many people don't immediately pick up on why Blair is reacting the way he is- he's the first one to realize just how dire the situation is and how important it is that they be isolated from the rest of the world ("Nobody gets in or out of here! NOBODY!"). Later when he is locked in the tool shed you see the noose he was fashioning to end his life as he despaired for his own fate and the fate of the world, but by the time they talk to him again he is now infected and just wants to get out.

@DekkarJr Год назад

For the most part the practical effects are better than the CGI. CGI is super expensive to do properly. Movie studios would never give the artists the time to do it anyway. The first CGI final fantasy movie cost a fortune for example, had like 1000 people animating it and took a whole warehouse of top of the line computers to render and they still had a lot of issues with the uncanny valley. It's just difficult to believe for some reason; i think because it isn't physically there like the props are.

A masterclass in sci-fi horror, this movie is 41 years old and still hands down beats most films today. Such a shame the movie flopped due to it going up against the cute ET and audiences not really appreciating the gore and paranoia. Thankfully it gained massive popularity when it hit the Home Video market and became a cult classic.

@NotaRealNameThrowaway 7 месяцев назад

Carpenter's The Thing is one of the rare example where they tell about as much as they show. Heck, if you speak Norwegian, you get to know what's going on within a few minutes of the movie starting. The computer lays it out in the open too. The movie doesn't shy away from anything _other_ than the suspense it creates in making you wonder who is infected.

This movie is genuinely unsettling. They don't really use jump scares or excessive gore, because the concept of a nightmare lovecraftian alien is enough. Plus, the human characters are interesting and believable. They react to the threat in a convincing way. The constant feeling of paranoia and anticipation was done very well too. Finally, it's got some of the best practical effects ever done. The Fly did it better, but only slightly

@JoshSweetvale 11 месяцев назад

They _do_ use excessive gore. All tropes are tools. Seeing a morphing meatblob is horrifying, because the gore you're seeing will look completely different in the next scene.

@debrabarber3483 11 месяцев назад

@JoshSweetvale it didn't seem excessive, considering the context of what was happening. People do tend to bleed a bit when ripped apart. Although, most horror movies do tend to add more gore and blood than what would be physically possible. I guess it's because it does create a visceral reaction. But not in everyone. I think I was just happy to have characters who did not behave like complete idiots. That is a trope that needs to die. The monster is not scary if it only kills really stupid people😆

@riffgroove : That is right, he overworked himself, poor Rob, so the other legendary F/X Master Stan Winston came in and saved it, doing the Dog scene I believe, til Rob could get back. Stan didn't want credit taken away from Rob so he asked to be uncredited in the film.

I suppose someone's probably mentioned this by now, but Asia wasn't far off when she called the excellent animal actor Jed a wolf. He was actually half-wolf/half-Alaskan Malamute. The latter is similar in appearance to a Siberian Husky, although larger. There aren't many Malamutes registered over here in Sweden, but I stumbled upon one a few years ago. Really beautiful (and big!) dogs with very thick fur. 🥰

@leeneufeld4140 Год назад

Wolves are hard to work with, and most filmmakers would rather not. They're like cats, in that they can be trained to do complex things, and perform perfectly - until shooting starts. Then it's "Naw, not today."

This has been the most fun movie reactions I've seen to this movie. Rob Bottin did 95% of the creature effects and got sick on set and have to be airlifted to hospital because of overworking. The result is easily some of the best creature effects of all time for a movie. The effects were easily award worthy but did not get an award.

@odinsahn7648 Год назад

The scene where the dog enters an unknown characters room and then the fade out is awesome. I saw this as a teen with my Dad and that was such a pivotal element to the mystery of the film.

@mustlearnmore4884 Год назад

There's a fan theory that at the end of the film, Childs is a 'thing' as well. MacReady tests him by passing him what appears to be a bottle of whisky, but is actually a Molotov cocktail. When Childs drinks it without reacting, MacReady laughs knowingly, but also knowing that he's in no state to do anything about it. Also, in 'It: Chapter 2', there's a similar head-spider creature, and one of the characters says that same line: "You've got to be f**king kidding me...", clearly added as a little Easter egg for fans of 'The Thing'.

Few fun bits: When he poured his whiskey in the computer. The computer was indeed cheating. Somebody went back and checked and it made an illegal move to check mate him. When the Norwegians were shouting in the beginning of the movie, they are actually spoiling the movie: "Thats not a dog, its a thing!" Also the beginning when they check on the Norwegian base, its actually the main set after they burned it for the movie climax. They did not have enough money for 2 sets. This movie is a part of Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy. The movies have no direct connect, but have broadly similar themes. The other two are Prince of Darkness and In The Mouth of Madness. Both are superb and some of the best horror movies ever made.

Small interesting note, but at the beginning, the Norwegian, Lars, is yelling at the crew that it's not a dog and to get away from it. Which you can probably surmise from later events (or even just from the beginning if you're really thinking about it, this is a movie about a virus-like alien that mimics people and living things). The exact translation according to the wiki is: "Get the hell away! It's not a dog, it's some sort of thing! It's imitating a dog, it isn't real! GET AWAY, YOU IDIOTS!" But of course the outpost crew has no idea what he's saying since not one of them speaks Norwegian. A recurring gag between the movies and PS2 game is that someone usually mixes them up for being Swedish. Also just so it's clear, he never shot any of them intentionally, he just wasn't too concerned about their safety. He wanted to kill the thing before it could get away and infect anyone else.

Yeah this one is the first remake of the original "THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD" which was made back in 1955 I believe. While the first one was more suspenseful than "horror" it was still a good movie for it's time. This first remake was an attempt to take off from where the original more or less left off, hence the rectangle cut in the ice near the beginning.

@davidswearingen4411 Год назад

I don't really consider this a remake of the 1950s movie *The Thing from Another World* b/c they are quite different. John Carpenter's *The Thing* is a direct adaptation of the original short story "Who Goes There?" written by John W. Campbell back in the '30s. Carpenter's version stays extremely true to the original story.
