Im in film appreciation this semester. Every Wednesday night we watch a movie as a class. This week we watched the 1982 John Carpenter movie The Thing.
This is a horror film but I didn't find myself too terrified (until of course my friend explained how she thought the monster looked like a spider, my biggest fear). The only reason I couldn't look out from behind my hands is the gore that John Carpenter found the need to put in. Blood + guts = a disgusted ebeth.
The story is about a group of researchers in Antarctica who stumble upon an alien ship and an alien that shapshifts into perfect replicas of human beings. I felt unsatisfied at the end, wanting to know what happened next.
After the movie I searched IMDb to find out more about the movie and found out that they are making a prequel to the movie. It will have the same title. This is going to be difficult for me to watch. Movies today seem to scare me more then the horror movies from the past.
