An American scientific expedition to the frozen wastes of the Antarctic is interrupted by a group of seemingly mad Norwegians pursuing and shooting a dog. The helicopter pursuing the dog crashes leaving no explanation for the chase. During the night, the dog mutates and attacks other dogs in the cage and members of the team that investigate. The team soon realises that an alien life-form with the ability to take over other bodies is on the loose and they don't know who may already have been taken over.

John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) [Collector's Edition - Reissue] [ReUp]

In 1982 horror maestro John Carpenter introduced the world to his masterpiece, a remake of the ‘50s movie The Thing from Another World. With its talented ensemble cast and jaw-dropping special effects, the film quickly became one of my childhood favourites and was one of the first truly spectacular DVDs to be released back in the early days of the format. Packed with hours of bonus material, ranging from a feature-length documentary to an engaging audio commentary, The Thing was among the very first titles I picked up after buying my first DVD player. While impressive for its time, the non-anamorphic transfer on that release is somewhat lacking when compared to today’s modern efforts and has always irked me. With my love for the film, you can understand my delight when Universal saw fit to re-release the Collector’ Edition with re-mastered video for the ultimate horror experience.

John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) [Collector's Edition - Reissue] [ReUp]

R.J. MacReady (Kurt Russell) is one of a group of twelve research scientists stationed at a remote Antarctic outpost, and spends his days drinking and playing computerised chess in an attempt to stave off boredom. One day the tranquillity of the camp is shattered by the arrival of a Norwegian helicopter flying overhead, shooting wildly at a solitary husky as it goes. The helicopter lands at the site in hot pursuit of the husky, and so intent are they on killing the animal that they accidentally shoot one of the scientists in the leg. The scientists return fire, killing one of the Norwegians, while the other manages to blow both himself and his helicopter to smithereens with a thermal charge!

Eager to discover why the Norwegians had been behaving so irrationally, helicopter pilot MacReady leads and expedition to their camp. While searching for an explanation, they unearth a number of video tapes among the research data, along with a number of horribly deformed corpses. Upon returning to their own camp they watch video footage, which shows the Norwegians unearthing a giant, saucer-shaped spacecraft that had been buried under the ice for around 100,000 years. Further examination of the data indicates the presence of an alien life form aboard the ship, one with the ability to assimilate and perfectly replicate any organic matter it comes into contact with. Before long it becomes apparent that the husky isn’t all it appears to be, and with the creature loose in their base the group quickly falls prey to paranoia and mistrust.

What follows is one of the most atmospheric and genuinely scary films I have ever seen, as one by one the men are absorbed by the alien creature and the group begins to crack under the pressure. The remote location helps to heighten the tension and creates an intense feeling of claustrophobia—these men literally have nowhere to go. Featuring excellent, not to mention disconcerting special make-up effects by Rob Bottin ( RoboCop), the film holds up very favourably in the looks department when compared to today’s movies, while being streets ahead of most of them in terms of suspense and terror.

John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) [Collector's Edition - Reissue] [ReUp]

A parasitic alien infiltrates an arctic research centre in John Carpenter's 1982 body horror classic. "You've got to be fucking kidding." Not only one of the great "zinger" lines of all time, but pretty much the reaction of slack-jawed audiences who either gazed in shock at John Carpenters' The Thing, or more likely, as the film was pretty much a flop on its first release, picked up their popcorn and flounced into the next screen where there was some girly alien or other trying to phone home.

In fact, The Thing is a peerless masterpiece of relentless suspense, retina-wrecking visual excess and outright, nihilistic terror, placing 12 men at an Antarctic station while a shapeshifter takes them over one by one. The slimy effects stand up to this day, Ennio Morricone's score is fantastic and the ensemble acting is played entirely straight as suspicion and paranoia overwhelm the characters. If you have seen it you'll know where that zinger comes from. If you haven't, well just do. And try to keep your head. And the menus are accompanied by Ennio Morricone's fantastic score

Back in 1997 Carpenter told Empire that "You'll never, ever, see anything like The Thing again." Like MacReady and Childs we're still waiting. We might be for a long time yet.
