The Thing (1982, John Carpenter)

"It's gone Macready ..."

A film that has stood the test of time simply by being itself. Exposition was obviously something that Carpenter had recently become allergic to ... as we open in the middle of a chase and it ends ... ambiguously to say the least.
A group of blokes find that a dog is not man's best friend, when a neighbouring camp literally land in their laps.
Having finally seen the film at the cinema, I can only imagine what the audience thought back then. Well ... maybe not as I left feeling very despondent tbh. Ahem. I recommend this film highly and always have
