Director John Carpenter and special makeup effects master Rob Bottin teamed up for this 1982 remake of the 1951 science fiction classic The Thing from Another World, and the result is a mixed blessing. It's got moments of highly effective terror and spine-tingling suspense, but it's mostly a showcase for some of the goriest and most horrifically grotesque makeup effects ever created for a movie. With such highlights as a dog that splits open and blossoms into something indescribably gruesome, this is the kind of movie for die-hard horror fans and anyone who slows down to stare at fatal traffic accidents. On those terms, however, it's hard not to be impressed by the movie's wild and wacky freak show. It all begins when scientists at an arctic research station discover an alien spacecraft under the thick ice, and thaw out the alien body found aboard. What they don't know is that the alien can assume any human form, and before long the scientists can't tell who's real and who's a deadly alien threat. Kurt Russell leads the battle against the terrifying intruder, and the supporting cast includes Richard Masur, Richard Dysart, Donald Moffat, and Wilford Brimley. They're all playing standard characters who are neglected by the mechanistic screenplay (based on the classic sci-fi story "Who Goes There?" by John W. Campbell), but Carpenter's emphasis is clearly on the gross-out effects and escalating tension. If you've got the stomach for it (and let's face it, there's a big audience for eerie gore), this is a thrill ride you won't want to miss. --Jeff Shannon

I like this cover (the one with the man with no face) better than the other cover (the face covered in snow). Its just a better cover, the other one sucks.
Both DVDs are essentially the same. I cant find a deep difference. Just pick the cover that you liek best.
Other than that, this is one of the most claustophobic movies you'll ever see. Its really one of the scariest I've seen. Watch it by yourself in the dark for a better effect. Especially if you've never seen it before.

This movie's amazing. Definitely Carpenter's best work. You can NOT miss this...it set a bar for sci fi horror that still stands today.

The old version of "The Thing" was grainy and dark. This new remastered version is almost like watching a new movie. the creepiness remains, but you can actually make out details in the environment and the twisted monsters that weren't there before.
Highly recommended for John Carpenter fans, people who enjoyed "30 days of night", and anyone else who enjoys a combination of intense psychological stress and gory monsters with Kurt Russell at the helm.

This has to be one of the very best science fiction movies ever made. It is pure atmosphere/mystery/horror from the unusual opening to the ambiguous ending. A group of isolated scientists in Antarctica encounter an alien species that can literally duplicate in almost exacting detail any other animal. Carpenter had the guts to make John Campbell's original novella 'Who Goes There?' quite literally and the effect is astonishing. The cast is terrific, led by Kurt Russell, and the creature effects are ... Read More

The thing is by far one of the greatest horror movies ever made, it's one hell of a paranoia Trip
I wish they'd go back to the style of animation and effects they used in this movie. They are a little outdated yes but atleast the actors had something to work with instead of it all being digitally edited in later..
