The Thing (1982)
10/10
Digging up schorched bones

One of the biggest horror sci-fi treasures. Unbelievably chilling even after 40 years. Mystery, terrific acting, astonishing practical effects and dark, claustrophobic mood set by the plot and scenery are a founding stones for this masterpiece - and a lesson about passion and aristry for next generations.

No stupid comedy fillers, you can see here, that dialogues have weight of people really terrified about situation which they have found themselves in, without easter-eggs, puns and breaking 4-th wall.

As a separated laudation I'd like to thank Ennio Morricone for this minimalistic, cold theme piercing thoughout the film. Absolutely chilling, those bass notes. Wow.
