I finally watched John Carpenter's The Thing for the first time and was blown away from the opening shot, which was brilliant. It's is a masterclass in paranoia-driven horror, elevated by groundbreaking practical effects that remain iconic. It's creeping sense of distrust with the crew is amazing. It also expertly fosters an atmosphere of escalating tension, where no one can be trusted and every glance or hesitation deepens the dread. The practical effects by Rob Bottin are astonishingly. And of course the score is chilling. What did you guys make of the ending?
