A January tradition at CULTPLEX, do not miss the terror of John Carpenter's masterpiece on the big screen!
In the winter of 1982, a twelve-man research team at a remote Antarctic research station discovers an alien buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Soon unfrozen, the form-changing creature wreaks havoc, creates terror.. and becomes one of them.
A definitive Master of Horror, John Carpenter directs this genre-defining classic of suspense and dread which set the benchmark for special makeup effects for years to come, showcasing Rob Bottin's extravagant parade of grisly, mutating creatures.
Underappreciated on its initial release (critics felt the gore effects were overused), The Thing has been re-evaluated in recent years for its undeniably scary premise, bleak setting and foreboding atmosphere of dread, and is now considered one of the 1980s' best sci-fi and horror films.
