    Carpenter's The Thing encapsulates paranoia and the feeling of isolation perfectly. Practical effects are the best I've ever seen. An all-time personal favorite.

  • Critic Reviews of "The Thing (1982)"

    Chicago Reader
    May 25, 2011

    Carpenter's direction is slow, dark, and stately; he seems to be aiming for an enveloping, novelistic kind of effect, but all he gets is heaviness.

    Variety
    June 06, 2007

    If it's the most vividly guesome monster ever to stalk the screen that audiences crave, then The Thing is the thing. On all other levels, however, John Carpenter's remake of Howard Hawks' 1951 sci-fi classic comes as a letdown.

    Time Out
    June 24, 2006

    Russell's sub-Eastwood heroics hardly compensate for the absence of all characterisation, while Bill Lancaster's script boasts the most illogical climax any monster movie ever had.

    Chicago Sun-Times
    October 23, 2004

    Because this material has been done before, and better, especially in the original The Thing and Alien, there's no need to see this version.

    New York Times
    May 20, 2003

    Mr. Carpenter has demonstrated that he can make good, comparatively plain, old-fashioned scare movies and effective suspense thrillers, but he seems to lose his own head when he combines two or more genres, as he [does here].

    This is one of those rare remakes that remains faithful to the premise of the original but does something unique with the concept.

    Under the Radar
    February 28, 2017

    With a thick, thick air of intense paranoia and jaw-dropping monster effects work, The Thing stands as one of the greatest films of both the horror and science fiction genres.

    October 11, 2016

    Like Ridley Scott's 1979 classic "Alien" before it, "The Thing" is science-fiction/horror with a visionary punch that continues to resonate and inspire filmmakers decades later.

    The Blu Spot
    October 10, 2016

    John Carpenter's The Thing boasts outstanding special effects, skilled direction and cinematography, and a tension-filled story, making for one of the legendary director's most cherished works.

    It personifies the definition of "popcorn entertainment" - that is, the kind of film that relishes the thrill of its many ambitious moments without seeking total transcendence.

    Antagony & Ecstasy

    Something close to an absolutely perfect exercise in how to construct a thriller.
