Carpenter's take on the THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD (1951) is perhaps one of the slickest horrors ever made. ...read the complete Thing movie review at iAfrica.com (Andrew Burden)

Great entertainment. Just try not to take it too seriously. ...read the complete Thing movie review at DVDTown.com (John J. Puccio)
Slant Magazine (Eric Henderson)
The Thing may be a tad too careful and schematic to stand shoulder with Carpenter's very best films. ...read the complete Thing movie review at Slant Magazine (Eric Henderson)
Spinning Image (Graeme Clark)
An American research station in the Antarctic has an unexpected visitor in the shape of a dog which is being chased by gun-toting Norwegians in a helicopter. But this is no ordinary dog... ...read the complete Thing movie review at Spinning Image (Graeme Clark)

I just purchased the Blu-Ray version of The Thing. I have previosly owned this film on laserdisc and DVD. I found the Blu-Ray version to have very sharp color and contrast and to have very clean video. The sound has improved from the DVD version. I ...

Absolutely enthralling. Seeing it in the blu-ray (worth every penny) revealed incredible detail I'd never noticed before, making this familiar film a whole new experience. The characters just literally leapt out of the screen, whereas in other formats ...
