The Thing. 1982.

John Carpenter's remake on the story by John W. Campbell jr "Who Goes There" with a star studded cast and a great setting of being in the Antarctic with nowhere to run or hide except for the alien that takes over the human body. Rob Bottin's special effects still live up to this day. Atmospheric, claustrophobic and who to trust is one of the big things that makes this film work and the big reveal of the alien at the end, but still leaves you guessing between Mac and Childs, is one of them the alien???
