Editorial Reviews
"...[A] sci-fi classic..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (02/28/1992)

"...THE THING is a rare cautionary Cold War tale that's also plain fun..."
Entertainment Weekly - Joshua Rich (08/01/2003)

5 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's a Cold War masterpiece, paranoid tension building slowly as a team of egghead scientists and square-jawed air force officers discover a deep-frozen UFO."
Total Film - Jamie Russell (05/01/2007)

"Dimitri Tiomkin's rousing score cranks up the tension while Russell Harlan's atmospheric cinematography helps convince us that we really are in some icy wilderness."
Sight and Sound - Geoffrey Macnab (04/01/2007)

      The Thing, 1951

    I personally love the film but more to the point cause James Arness is my Dad's cousin as well as his Brother Peter Graves. This film was a true classic and one I loved as a child. Also helps that I met the Thing, or should say the man behind the Thing. Great film and one my own kids love to watch with there dad.

    Great movie. Saw it when I was a kid. Just as thrilling now as then. These classic movies didn't need sex or foul language to make them interesting.
