The Thing

The Thing, also known as John Carpenter's The Thing, is a 1982 science fiction horror film about an Antarctic science base which is infiltrated by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of the people that it kills. Ostensibly a remake of the 1951 Christian Nyby film The Thing From Another World, Carpenter's film is more faithful to the original novella "Who Goes There?" by John W. Campbell

[from TV spot] Its origin: alien. Location: Antarctica. Age: unknown. Intent: survival. Destination: MAN.
Man is the warmest place to hide.
Look closely at your neighbors. Don't trust anybody.
The ultimate in alien terror.
