Has anyone seen this awesome sauce movie?
It's scary as stuff, because it doesn't use CGI. Since it uses actual props, the things in the movie seem really real.
Basically, what I remember from the movie was, a group of scientists working on Antarctica or something, found a base with dead people in it while exploring. The cause was an alien, which they found out later. The alien can infect any living being, and change into anything it wants. It eventually infects a husky, which they unknowingly bring back to their facility.
Then, all hell breaks loose.

I remember watching this movie when I was about 11.
loving 11. I was scared stuffless for about 3 months before forgetting about it.
Discuss this amazing work of horror.

Viewer discretion is advised.

watched the trailer and my reaction was "lol 'the forget?"

doesnt look scary at all

So "The Thing"
Seriously, what thing?  The title only makes me not want to watch it.

It wasn't that scary. Anyone who's scared of this trailer is a pusillanimous individual.

Old meme is not true and still old.

The trailer isn't really that bad. I think this video does a better job of making it look scary.

I haven't actually seen the movie, but it looks interesting.


i love when south park made fun of the movie.

when they were all doing those blood tests to see who the impostor was.
