Childs

As the creature claims one victim after another, this hot-headed mechanic will become MacReadys greatest ally in the battle to save humanity...if they dont kill each other first.

Dr. Copper

    First order wouldn't play properly. Constant gltiching and freezing in multiple players and drives.

    Disc looked perfect with no scratches or smudges. Still no good after cleaning disc.

    Returned and had a replacement sent.

    Replacement worked fine right out of the case.

    Seems to be a thing with 4K discs from what I see in forums for physical media.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The special effects are still phenomenal
    Reviewed in Canada on November 12, 2023

    It's insane to see just how good this movie still looks today. Some of the practical special effects included look way better than anything you can see in movies made today. The movie itself is a very Among Us-situation, and it has the viewer (and characters) constantly paranoid and second-guessing who might or might not be the creature. 4K version of this movie looks really good, and the extras included talk a great deal about the making of the film, which is great for any fan.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Grandissimo film di Carpenter
    Reviewed in Italy on April 28, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Considero da sempre questo film una pietra miliare della Fantascienza-horror. Questo titolo del 1982 ovviamente un remake dell'eccellente bianco e nero "La cosa da un altro mondo" del 1951 diretto da Christian Nyby. I remake sono spesso delle "brutte copie" dell'originale, ma non questo il caso... Qui abbiamo una ottima regia, splendidi attori e caratteristi, scenografie spettacolari, trucchi ed effetti speciali da oscar, restauro esemplare, ottimo audio multilingue (s, c' anche l'italiano)... che altro si pu chiedere? Non mi esprimo sul plot, sulla trama e sul finale controverso e indecifrabile: questione di gusti. Assaporatevi la pellicola nella penombra e con gli amici. Consigliatissimo.
