Man's Worst Friend

"I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human."

Getting to see this film in the cinema was such an awesome experience, what's most impressive about what John Carpenter achieved with The Thing is how rewatchable it is, retaining the same level of intrigue and terror upon every revisit. I'm sat in the cinema, watching the film for the 'I don't…

"Don't look at me like a lost puppy needing somewhere soft to lie down!"
