Film Details
PRESENTED ON VHS.
Over the years, star Kurt Russell and master of horror John Carpenter have teamed up on a multitude of films (BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA and ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK to name two) but of all their collaborations, 1982's horror/sci-fi amalgam THE THING surely tops the list.
A research team based out in the snowy wilds of Antarctica find themselves besieged by a terrifying, shape-shifting creature which has found its way into their base. When it becomes clear that the creature can take the form of any organism it so chooses, the tension within the team reaches breaking point any one of them could be... THE THING.
