great film...the effects are brilliant and i much prefer them more than most cgi effects today.....i also like the oriiginal b&w movie
other john carpenter films rule such as assualt on precinct 13, halloween, the fog and they live

Oh, as opposed to real people with jaws in their stomaches, dogs with alien tentacles, and guys who's heads explode? Gotcha. 😉
It was 1982, FYI, and I'll rephrase that "The Thing" pretty much ushered in the era of explicit special effects, set the standard,and STILL outshines tons of new age special effects. Rob Bottin seems to get forgotten in the SPFX world, since Savini is the name on everyones lips.
