The Thing

MacReady

MacReady

Helicopter pilot MacReady believes he’ll pass the long winter at the Antarctic research base in a haze of alcohol and computer chess. When the mysterious creature invades Outpost 31, however, MacReady will become his crewmates greatest hope for survival...and humanity’s only chance for salvation.

Dr. Blair

Dr. Blair

A biologist at the research station, Dr. Blair is the first person to grasp the terrible threat that the alien creature poses to humanity. Though his crewmates think that Dr. Blair’s response to this danger is insane, they soon realize that he didn’t go nearly far enough.

Childs

Childs

Though he initially dismisses the theories about the extraterrestrial creature as “voodoo,” Childs can’t deny the deadly reality for long. As the creature claims one victim after another, this hot-headed mechanic will become MacReady’s greatest ally in the battle to save humanity...if they don’t kill each other first.

Dr. Copper

Dr. Copper

The resident physician at Outpost 31, Dr. Copper discovers the grotesque remains of the alien creature while investigating the Norwegian camp. Though Dr. Copper hopes to discover more about the mysterious organism, he only finds an omen of his own grim fate.

Garry

Garry

The even-keeled commander of the research base, Garry attacks every problem with ruthless efficiency. Though his leadership has kept the desolate station together, Garry is helpless to defend his post against a threat that could be anyone he trusts...even himself!

Nauls

Nauls

Whether he’s roller skating through the halls, or blasting music in the kitchen, Nauls brings some much-needed vitality and good cheer to the barren research station. When the creature invades the base, however, Nauls trades his jovial demeanor for a grim determination to survive.

The Thing

    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.

    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.

    Amazing 4K transfer that makes special effects look great! John Carpenter’s masterpiece. With this quality, we’re able to see Keith David sweating with is coat while he’s waiting for the thing 😂 ! Never seen that on VHS even DVD 😉 For those who like this genre, I recommend. Classic.

    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 è 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 è 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 (sì, c'è anche l'italiano)... che altro si può chiedere? Non mi esprimo sul plot, sulla trama e sul finale controverso e indecifrabile: è questione di gusti. Assaporatevi la pellicola nella penombra e con gli amici. Consigliatissimo.

    5.0 out of 5 stars La obra maestra de Carpenter.
    Reviewed in Mexico on July 17, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    En su momento le fue mal en taquilla contra E.T., todos querían un alien bueno y cariñoso, no este alien. John Carpenter nunca le perdonó a la audiencia que no asistieran a salas a ver lo que él considera su obra maestra, aunque tampoco ayudó que la crítica la destrozara, por lo que fue un rotundo fracaso en taquilla, que afectará en futuros proyectos del director.
    Aunque en si, la mayoría de las cintas de Carpenter (excepto Halloween) no fueron tan exitosas en taquilla, y agarraron un status de culto en formato casero.

    El Blu-ray doble de Shout Factory tiene audio y subtítulo en inglés.
    NO contiene audio ni subtiulo en español.
