John Carpenter’s legendary sci-fi horror film is paranoia and terror at their most intense. With groundbreaking practical effects and a chilling score by Ennio Morricone, The Thing is a masterclass in suspense and isolation. Starring Kurt Russell at his coolest, this one will have you questioning who’s human… and who isn’t. Trust no one.
