Fun movie trivia: If you understand Norwegian, the entire plot is given away in the first scene.

"You gotta be fucking kidding..." - The single most well-earned f-bomb in cinematic history.

40 years old, almost no cgi, and even more terrifying than any movie made today. I miss the 80's.

That shot with Bennings howling, half transformed, the steam from his breath. Horrifying.

You guys didn't fall for the thing-dog's bullshit AT ALL. Most people spend the first part of the movie going "Oh no poor doggo he's been through so much!"

Fun fact: whenever Keith David gets asks if he became the thing at the end of the movie, he just smiles and says "why don't we go somewhere private and dark, and I'll tell you"

Everyone's first time watching the movie:
"Why are they shooting that poor dog?!"

Everyone's second time:
"If only they'd gotten that dog..."

Here’s a little research for those interested. Peter Watts, Canadian author of the Firefall books, wrote a short story called “The Things,” which imagines this story from the creature’s point of view. Very imaginative.
And to answer your question, the flamethrower would be used to de-ice engines and melt out landing strips. In colder northern latitudes, it’s common to light a fire under and engine to stop it freezing solid overnight.

For some reason, I always feel the need to point out that MacReady is not a murderer for shooting Clark. Clark was going to murder him, and he acted in self-defense. In fact, most of the party was content to leave Mac out in the cold to freeze to death, so every moment between getting back inside and proving his innocence with the blood test was pure survival mode.

One of the all-time greatest movies.

Simone: "It's the 80's, ya gotta be prepared."
George: "What happened in the 80's?!!"

This had me rolling on the floor. FWIW, an Antarctic research base might carry a flamethrower to melt excessive ice build-up.

Rob Bottin, the man responsible for the special effects was only 22 when they made this movie. And he is on record saying that he wanted that you could not create an image of what the creature actually looks like by making it look different in every effect shot. This also ended up doubling the budget if i remember right.

"Maybe it's what I'm scared of most, which is the sense of disappointment" - George bringing zingers to the table there

One of the all time great Cosmic Horror films. A real masterpiece of suspense, and a master class in practical effects.

The intensity in Simone's eyes on a lot of these reactions is priceless. Good stuff you two.

A while ago I was working at a weather research station on top of a mountain, where we would be pretty isolated all winter, and this was a favorite movie for the crew to watch (although it was a little worrisome that our shift supervisor didn't want to reveal where our flamethrowers we're stored).

@alblythe9722 4 years ago

Fun fact: the dog-thing in this film is played by a renowned canine actor called Jed, and this was his most famous role! Jed was also half domesticated dog, half wolf, so he lacked a lot of the typical “dog” mannerisms like a wagging tail and stuff. Makes his portrayal a lot creepier imo

It's kinda insane that this movie turns 40 next year and it's still one of the best horror movies ever made and the effects are for the most part better than what we see today.
Absolutely incredible.

"Why do they have a flamethrower?"

Its for clearing snow and ice.

@VoluptuousWalrus-m7j 2 years ago

Fun fact: that dog is actually a wolfdog, mix of a dog and a wolf and they barely had to train it. Wolfdogs are naturally very wary and suspicious of their surroundings especially If there are a lot of humans around them, so it's weird way of creeping around is completely natural for wolfdogs.
