The Thing one of the best horror movies of all time. The special effects are amazing and very realistic looking. Disgusting actually. 👌 The creativeness and ingenuity of this movie is top notch.

Blair wasn't "going crazy" in the radio room. He was trying to keep The Thing from returning to a populated area.

For the record, it was Windows who took Gary's keys, but you can hear him drop the keys in the scene where he finds Bennings being attacked by The Thing. That's why Windows runs away when everyone discovers the sabotaged blood bags and Doc and Gary start arguing over who had the keys.

That dog should’ve gotten an Oscar nomination, he’s such a good actor

That dog is actually a wolf dog and was one of the best animal actors of all time. John Carpenter is one of my all time favorite filmmakers. He made so many cult classics and inspired so many others in the industry

It’s been 40 years since this movie came out and it’s still one of the best horror movies ever made. More movies (especially sci-fi and horror) need to use as many practical effects like this. I was like 15 when I first saw this and it literally haunted my dreams for almost a month.

Also, The Homies: “Please don’t kill the dog”, Me: “Wait for it.” 8:10 There it is.”

I love dogs with all my heart, which is why that scene always hurts to watch. Still the dog who played The Thing is one of the best trained dogs I have ever seen in movies.

I was 11 years old when I saw this movie for the first time ⌚. I saw it with my Babysitter, Chris. 😮😊🎉❤

29:34 Ellie’s face 😂

The paranoia is off the charts in this one. The theme music gets my heart racing!

Seeing Ellie's brain break and need to reboot at 25:28 was priceless and I needed the laugh.  I saw this way too young (9 yr/o) and now I take great and perverse amusement in watching newbies see this for the first time.

The defibrillator scene is a classic, love seeing peoples reactions to it. Catches everyone by surprise. Unbelievable this film was panned when released. Way ahead of its time and thankfully it now has been rereviewed as a horror great.

The claustrophobic group becomes the perfect petri dish in which to create an environment of fear, paranoia, and betrayal.

Ellie's look of pure disgust and horror at 25:24 is very nostalgic for me😂

We rented this on VHS cassette when it was released, and watched it in a total datk room 😮 and back then this was a VERY scary experience, actually gave me bad dreams 😳😱😱
Thanks for your reaction 😊😊

The horror movies of the 80's had great practical special effects, which makes them incredible. For these days I recommend watching AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, you will be impressed. Very good reaction, as always.

Thank god the dog is safe.. never gets old 🤣

“The Thing” is suspicion, mistrust, and paranoia personified!  It is the story of desperate men, isolated and hopelessly trapped in the middle of nowhere, caught up in a terrifying life-and-death battle with an inhuman enemy, in which the fate of the entire world hangs in the balance.  What would you do?

Ellie, to answer your question around 13:19 when Blair was checking the computer's estimation for the entire world population to be infected, it would be 3 years from the first contact in any of the civilized areas.  All you girls are beautiful!!!!

One thing about The Thing that I absolutely love after having watched many reaction vids and shown it to many people, is how almost-everybody at some point in the dog scene seems to get legitimately angry. At first its just "oh wow, thats weird", and then its "Ooooh WOW that's really weird", but at some point basically everyone crosses a boundary into being almost-angry at the scene, like "WHAT?! WHY!? EXPLAIN YOURSELF!"

most girls :  "Don't shoot the dog !"
most guys :  "I wonder why they're trying to shoot the dog ?"
