Thing
Price Range:

A wonderfully crisp script and quick-paced direction distinguishes this film about an alien creature discovered near an Arctic outpost. Members of a scientific research team cart the frozen pilot back to camp where it thaws out--much to their regret.

Classic Sci Fi Horror at its best! THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD
Pros: Incredibly well done movie; tight, and fast paced. Cons: James Arness looks like an angry James Arness in a carrot suit. Bottom Line: The Thing original!

Pros: Entertaining movie. Cons: Character development could be better. Bottom Line: The Thing From Another World (1951)
Pros: suspense, direction, script Cons: stereotypes, plot implausibilities, romantic subplot Bottom Line: "Boners" on the Icecap: The Nyby/Hawks vs. Carpenter version of THE THING
Pros: Good cast, fairly suspenseful, some thought-provoking scientific discussions Cons: Ridiculous romantic subplot; takes plenty of liberties with the original story Bottom Line: The aliens (or commies) are among us.
Pros: A good, scary movie. Cons: Anti-intellectualism. Bottom Line: |
