Another genuine horror classic which you have either seen, or else should see, this is going to be a very short review, as with nothing to criticise, there's not much to say!
John Carpenter's remake of 1951's "The Thing From Another World" ditches everything about the original (even most of the title) keeping only the polar basecamp, and the fact that an alien crash-lands there.

The Thing - Lisa's Review
So tonight I finally managed to watch all of The Thing. I have started to watch it many times in the past, as pretty much everyone and their aunt fanny rant about how good it is. Sadly each and every time I've tried, I've grown so incredibly bored I've had to give up. Tonight I was on a mission... I WILL WATCH THIS MOVIE! So how did it go? Well lets say I fell asleep more times than I was able to count in the end and I had to scan back my DVD over and over and over. In the end I spent all damn evening watching it!! Let me tell you, I can think of much better uses of my time on an evening. Nope, I was indeed not wrong the first time I sat down to watch it, nor any of the others. It just IS exceedingly boring!
I can hear the nay-sayers already. How dare she?!! The Thing is an awesome movie! Well I'm afraid I disagree. For me the only saving grace was a perv at Kurt Russell, but even he wasn't enough to hold my interest after a while. Let me put it to you like this. I switched it off at one point and a program about the Manchester Midland Hotel was on the TV. This woke me straight up and was riveting viewing in comparison!
