The Thing

Watched "The Thing" tonight and really enjoyed it.  This is 1982 Si-Fi at its best.  Complete with aliens made by puppeteers and some great acting.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not big fan of puppets, wires and strings but they did a really good job in this movie.  It has some really good writing and a great plot. I give it a 7 out of 10.

"The Thing" was released in June of 1982.  Directed by John Carpenter, its a horror, mystery and Si-Fi film and I would say it about equal in all three parts.  The story takes place in Antarctica.  An expedition comes across and alien that has been frozen in the ice.  The alien is a shape shifter and can take over the body of  anyone or anything living that it come in contact with.  Some of the special effects are a little week but over all its a good movie.  If you get the chance, don't pass it by. C9K23DMTT9JE
