It's been one of my all time favorite movies ever since I saw it. The first time I saw that movie it left a very deep impression on my psyche. It' s an intense movie. I could only imagine what it must have been like for anyone seeing that at the theatre when it was released. That must have blowen a few minds. That scene when they are strapped to the chairs getting their blood tested has to be one of the all time great tension building scenes in horror movie history.

Did you know that this was based off an older move from the 50's titled The Thing? As much as I love old movies I have a feeling it would pale in comparison. John Carpenter could do no wrong in the 80's!
