John Carpenter’s The Thing

Tomorrow night, I’ll be at the BFI Southbank to enjoy a special member’s screening of one of my all time favourite movies.  What more is there to say about John Carpenter’s masterwork of alien body-horror paranoia?  Although it really got a beating on the initial release (many blame the release of ET; apparently audiences preferred their aliens looking like friendly poos rather than toothy monstrosities), it has been redeemed in it’s home video releases over the years.  The performances, Dean Cundy’s cinematography, Ennio Morricone’s score, Rob Bottin’s jaw dropping (literally!) effects; it all comes together perfectly.  Now you may have seen the original trailer, with some choice moments from the film and that creepy tagline “Man is the Warmest Place to Hide”.  However, you may not be so familiar with this teaser, shot way before anything else.  This may also have lead to some misapprehensions about the film, as it hints at a more direct redo of The Thing from Another World, rather than the new adaptation of Who Goes There.   It doesn’t really sum up the film terribly well, although the sight of the vague shape within the ice is quite creepy.   Have a nice winter solstice everyone!

Bonus: The Thing the Musical!

This is just a little comparison between the two Halloween Blu-Rays that are on the market now. The one on the left is the regular Halloween release under STARS and Anchor Bay and the right is the 35th Anniversary remastered version (done under the supervision of Dean Cundy himself) also released by STARS and Anchor.
