The Thing (1982) - John Carpenter’s amazing, gory remake remains a claustrophobic and killer movie. It’s pretty damn suspenseful as a group of researchers in Antarctica are terrorized and killed by a creature capable of copying any of them. The blood test scene ranks as one of the scariest moments ever caught on camera. And, the FX, all practical no digital remember, by Rob Bottin are still as jaw-dropping as ever. While, it was a box office bomb at the time, thanks to a sweet little alien named ET, it has since gone on to be considered one of the genre’s true classics.
