Doe 10/24/25 1:24:44 PM #3:	I have it a perfect score on Letterboxd, one of the most gripping movies I've ever watched. It's definitely scary with good horrible creature designs but I processed it more like a thriller than something that keeps me up at night. My biggest pet peeve regarding the plot is online arguments about (end scene spoiler) whether one of the two is a Thing at the end of the movie, when the point of the ending is clearly the irony in how the two who got along the least are now the sole survivors having won the day together --- https://imgur.com/gallery/dXDmJHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75GL-BYZFfY <cite>Doe posted [p:986825939] in The Thing...

I really do find it astonishing how nowadays it's rightfully considered one of the kings of horror, but back then the reception was beyond inaccurate. It's pretty unusual for a cult movie to also end up being recognized as a masterpiece decades later, I can't think of any cult hits that then went on to be widely recognized as both unappreciated in its time AND just an excellently made film.
