The Thing (1982)
Dr Dogbert takes a look back at the classic 1982 horror film. How does it hold up?
"In 1982, John Carpenter brought to life on-screen one of the most iconic horror films of the decade, The Thing, which is adapted from the John W. Campbell, Jr short story Who Goes There?
The Thing focuses on a US science research post in deepest Antarctica where getting supplies can take weeks and the nearest source of civilisation is over 1000 miles away. Here this group of US scientists, including characters played by Kurt Russell (Escape from New York, Stargate, Backdraft), Keith David (Mass Effect, Halo, Pitch Black), and Wilford Brimley (The Firm, and Cocoon) come across something that is not of this world after encountering a crazed Norwegian expedition."
