many people have get a film they think of a their favourite movie . my movie will always be john carpenter the thing . the main reason why this movie be a cult film be perhaps the splatter effect create mainly by genius rob bottin and that this be the movie that make kurt russell what he be today ( along with escape from n. y . ) in my opinion and this be not a great film because of the effect and it have to do with the story and the atmosphere and and of course and the acting . i have watch thousand and thousand of movie ( 3 6 every day the last 10 year ) and but none have have the impact on me a this one and not even the great das boot . here my suggestion to you who like sci fi and horror movie represent place yourself in the good chair of your home . be sure youre not interupted by anyone . if you aint get a projector and sit close to your tv and watch this miracle of a film . let it absorbe you and and you will see it my way . best view time represent late february between 5 and 9 in the evening .
