Xennials FTW | THE THING (1982) MOVIE REACTION! FIRST TIME WATCHING!

Back with another movie reaction from our "Remember the 80's" series! AN EERIE AND TENSE SCI-FI HORROR! The Thing (1982) Reaction, Recap, Review! Pete welcomes back Allen to watch this terrifying sci-fi thriller from the early 80s. In remote Antarctica, a group of American research scientists are disturbed at their base camp by a helicopter shooting at a sled dog. When they take in the dog, it brutally attacks both human beings and canines in the camp, and they discover that the beast can assume the shape of its victims. A resourceful helicopter pilot named Macready leads the camp crew in a desperate, gory battle against the vicious creature before it picks them all off, one by one. This movie was directed by a true master of the horror genre, John Carpenter (Halloween, They Live). Much of the credit to this film should definitely go to the special make-up effects designer, Rob Bottin. His work in creating the monstrous and grotesque "Thing" is truly the driving force in setting the tone for the movie. Originally, this film was not well-received in the box office but would gain a cult following once the movie was released on home video and television, which seems to be a common recurring theme among movies from the 80s. That said, we had a great time watching it, and we appreciated the minimal CGI and more practical special effects that the movie had to offer. A special shoutout to the team at Praper HQ for editing this reaction!
