Summary: A classic in HD
Comment: I've watched this so many times in Standard Definition, but it's like watching it again for the first time in HD. The video and sound quality is excellent!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best Horror Film Ever
Comment: The Thing (Collector's Edition)
An incredible film that shows that real characters and in credible practical effects make a horror film work rather than gore and CGI
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Carpenters best???
Comment: ...I think it looks like!!!
Until now, this is the best piece of work, Carpenter directed. Dark, rough and absolutely claustrophobic. Some of the SFX look kind of cheesy, but don't forget: The movie is over 20 years old...
I luv it ;-)

Summary: Don't take Anything with you
Comment: When I first saw this movie,it was a sneak preview with the premiere of Blade Runner,another Sci-Fi classic.I had gone to the movie alone,with my friend "Laughing Sam's Dice"...ok?Anyway,I was just melting into my seat in total connection with the first feature,and in all honesty partway into The Thing,for the first time in my movie career,I walked out,sat in the parking lot trying to compose myself to drive home.I have to consider this like an award level!Present day movie-goer's would consider it differently,the perspective I dealt with was beyond anything that had been released.Anyway,I had to go back,this time,I took my friend Mary Jane,and had a slightly calmer experience that I was able to enjoy to the end without entrails turning into tentacles leaving the screen,and crawling up the aisles,and enveloping the audience..... yeah like that,trust me,you didn't want to be there!Today it's a cult classic in the household,usually involves a nostalgic discussion of the details of my first experience.Have you ever been experienced?Well I was.

Summary: A Remake That's Almost Better Than The Original
Comment: In 1982 John Carpenter remade one of the all time great, Sci-fi/Horror films"The Thing".This remake was in many ways scarier than the original,due to the way the creature could shape itself perfectly,like it's victim.A lot of paranoia,and A scary sense of not knowing true identity,also made this film scarier than the original.It has some great special effects,and A wonderful ensemble cast including Kurt Russell,Wilfred Brimley,Keith David,Richard Dysart,and David Clennon.What keeps this film from being 5 stars,is the film has more gore,than heart. That Being said ,it may not be as good as the original,but it's still very entertaining,and quite exciting. I highly recommend this to fans of horror/sci-fi films,and fans of Kurt Russell,and or John Carpenter.
