The Thing (4½ Stars)

It's getting close to Halloween so I ought to be watching horror films? Not really. This 1982 classic by John Carpenter is worth watching any time of year.

It seems very similar to "Alien", made three years earlier, but it's actually a remake of a 1951 horror film. A creature from another world attacks the staff of an isolated scientific base in Antarctica, killing them one at a time, and taking the form of its victims. Pure terror!
