I think the original Alien still gives it a run for its money, but I'm hard pressed to think of many creature flicks that can even approach The Thing, much less compete with it. I remember watching it again a few years back and going "man, that was really good. I want to watch some more films like that." and then just looking around and realizing there was absolutely nothing on that level despite it having been 30+ years since it was made. What the fuck is the movie industry even doing if it can't make something that good on the regular?
YESSIR. Best all around horror movie of all time.
It's one of those movies that's pretty scary when you watch it as a kid or a teen, and absolutely terrifying when you watch it as an adult.
Yup. And imo the practical effects have never been equalled.
