The Thing
In John Carpenter’s claustrophobic horror whodunit, the crew of a remote Antarctic research center must fight for survival against an alien life form that can assimilate, then imitate, its host. And man is the warmest place to hide. Kurt Russell leads a stellar ensemble cast, while Rob Bottin’s jaw-dropping practical effects continue to shock and amaze.
