The Thing

The Thing

Horror-meister John Carpenter ('Halloween,' 'Escape From New York') combines Kurt Russell's outstanding performance with incredible visuals to build this chilling version of the classic 'The Thing.'

Synopsis: Antarctic research team discovers frozen alien spacecraft in this slime-spattered, graphically violent sci-fi thriller. Despite its intriguing story, this non-stop gore fest is most appealing to die-hard, strong-stomached horror fans.
