The Thing

The Thing

#2 Horror on Prime Video
1982·1h 42mmovieR
HorrorMysteryScience Fiction

A flop in cinemas when it was released a mere two weeks after E.T., John Carpenter’s body-horror remake has since been reclaimed as a genre classic. Updating the paranoid themes of its 1951 antecedent for the age of pioneering special effects, The Thing has lost none of its vital, visceral power.

🏆 Nominated: Saturn Award for Best Special Effects (1982)🏆 Nominated: Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Musical Score (1983)

Directed by John Carpenter

Starring Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley, T.K. Carter, David Clennon, Keith David, Richard Dysart, Charles Hallahan
