## Description

THE ULTIMATE IN ALIEN TERROROver the years, star Kurt Russell and master of horror John Carpenter have teamed up on a multitude of films (Big Trouble in Little China and Escape from New York to name a few) but of all their collaborations, 1982 s horror/sci-fi amalgalm The Thing surely tops the list.A research team based out in the snowy wilds of Antartica find themselves beseiged by a terrifying, shape-shifting creature which has found its way into their base. When it becomes clear that the creature can take the form of any organism it so chooses, the tension within the team reaches breaking point any one of them could be... The Thing.Critically panned at the time of its release, John Carpenter s The Thing has rightly gone on to become one of the most celebrated sci-fi horror efforts ever made now newly restored by Arrow Video in a stunning 4K transfer supervised by Carpenter and director of photography Dean Cundey.LIMITED EDITION CONTENTSBrand new restoration from a 4K scan of the original negative, supervised and approved by director John Carpenter and director of photography Dean CundeyHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentationOriginal Mono and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingAudio commentary by John Carpenter and actor Kurt RussellWho Goes There?

Review: One of the very best horror movies ever made! - John Carpenter's "The Thing" (originally released in 1982) is a true masterpiece in horror / terror film-making. Now available in full-HD, with a host of wonderful extras, the Blu-ray edition is superb. The picture quality is excellent, and the sound is fantastic. Spoiler alert! The film is set in the remote, desolate and frozen wastes of Antarctica. It opens with crazed Norwegians in a helicopter, shooting at a dog. The dog manages to make it to an American research base, where - as a monstrosity - it causes utter devastation. For it's not really a dog ... indeed, it's not even from Earth. Rather, it's an alien creature that crash landed some 100,000 years ago. A Norwegian science team discovered its frozen body and space craft, and - thinking it dead (see The Thing (2011) [Blu-ray ]) - excavated the remains. Only the creature wasn't dead. And, on thawing out, it went on a murderous rampage. It consumes its prey - absorbing living organisms - and then reshapes its own self to replicate them. In conditions of havoc, the Americans realise that a monster is in their midst, and they try to identify it, to destroy it, only to be relentlessly attacked by the Thing. Feelings of utter isolation, of claustrophobia, and of not being able to trust anyone, coupled with the mystery surrounding the horrific monster, permeate the film. Though 35 years old, this movie has some fantastic and gory special effects. Indeed, it's truly horrific. The level of gore may be off-putting to some viewers (in fact, it contributed to the film only being a minor cinematic success when originally released). But for anyone who appreciates monster-based horror / Sci-Fi action, I highly recommend this movie.
Review: Livin” Thing - A horror film that stood the test of time. A classic from John Carpenter with a great cast.
