Ostensibly a remake of The Thing from Another World, a no-frills 1951 alien movie directed by Christian Nyby (and frequently credited to its producer, Carpenter favorite Howard Hawks), The Thing hews more closely to the original novella, Who Goes There?, about an Antarctic science team that discovers an alien invader who can perfectly mimic any organism. And yet, though it appears unchanged on the surface, the film somehow metamorphosed into a stone-cold genre classic, a disfigured masterpiece beloved by critics and horror fans alike for its piano-wire tension, top-notch ensemble, jet-black sense of humor, and peerless practical effects by Rob Bottin. In 1982, John Carpenter’s The Thing was a “bleak,” woodenly acted B movie that earned nearly universal scorn from critics and general indifference from the moviegoing public. 4K restoration courtesy of Universal Pictures. Screenplay by Bill Lancaster, based on novel by John W.
