"The thing" is on ITV 4 tonight.
Old school but one of the most fucked up twisted horrors either made imho.
I remember watching this as a 10 yr old kid, scary shit

definately m8, its a cult classic.
A proper horror that scares more because of its tension and paranoia between the characters. Some serious tense scenes in it.
It was filmed in 1981 i think, so effects are old skool prosthetics/animatronics etc which although might look laughable is probably a good thing as most modern horrors rely on CGI.
Old skool, shit you up horror imo

An American Antarctic research station is infiltrated by an alien creature with the ability to perfectly imitate any organic life-form that it physically contacts. The crew of the station come to distrust each other as they cannot discern who is human and who is not. One by one they are killed, either by the creature or by each other.
The crew realize that if the creature were to reach the outside world, it would devour all life on Earth in approx 27,000 hours (Just over a few years). Although they destroy a vessel the creature was secretly building, the crew are ultimately forced to destroy the station in order to kill it, even if it means their own demise. In the end, there are only two survivors—neither of whom is sure if the other is human, but both too weak to fight

Id have rather watched the descent The thing was shockingly stupid

All in all i guess it wasnt bad for a 1982 film.
