#243. The Thing

Dir: John Carpenter
Genre: Science Fiction, Horror
Year: 1982

John Carpenter's The Thing is so close to being (I believe) the only remake in my Top 250! But alas, it's not actually a remake of The Thing from Another World, but rather a reimagining of its source material.

The Thing is an absolute master class in sci-fi horror filmmaking. Very few movies so accurately portray a sense of isolation, terror, and paranoia as well as this one. I could also make the argument that this contains the greatest practical effects of all time. Seriously, if anyone can name something that does it better, I am all ears. I'd love to see it.
