## Description

Exclusive Art by Matt Ferguson Horror-meister John Carpenter (Halloween, Escape from New York) teams Kurt Russell’s outstanding performance with incredible visuals to build this chilling version of the classic The Thing. In the winter of 1982, a twelve-man research team at a remote Antarctic research station discovers an alien buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Once unfrozen, the form-changing alien wreaks havoc, creates terror and becomes one of them. Bonus Content: • Feature Commentary with Director John Carpenter and Kurt Russell • John Carpenter’s The Thing: Terror Takes Shape • Outtakes • Theatrical Trailer

Review: Truly amazing - I was reluctant to buy this classic horror I have seen many times since my childhood but finally gave up the greed (for 18£) to buy this 4K restored edition. The first third of the movie is a little grainy and not so sharp but you can notice a picture quality improvement, all the rest of the movie is just stunning, colours, lights, contrasts true 4K at its best without grains ,NO CGI in this movie with such a clarity and crispy picture that gave me the creep... Advice for New generation who are bored easily with old movies : no judgement you live in an overcrowded World constantly linked with people by the technology and noise. Now if you want to know really how does if feel ( the real world) go for a trip in the nature far away from civilization in a safe place where you can pass some silent and peaceful Hollidays. Linked with the nature with a minimum technology or people around you I promess you gonna feel uncomfortable very fast, the time will extend, the loneliness ( for a while ) gonna make you feel unsecure at first. Then you will be able really after 1/2 weeks to appreciate all this kind of movies.
Review: Blown away! - I've only ever seen this movie on VHS and later on DVD. This 4K version is by far the best conversion of an old movie I've ever seen. Picture quality is supreme. One of the actors is sporting a nose ring, something not noticed before. The DTSX sound is as good as anything produced in a modern movie. This is a great monster movie improved with modern technology. Stunning with a big thumbs up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb
*by D***S on 20 September 2021*

It's hard to imagine how poorly received this film was at the time of its original release because it has certainly stood the test of time. This 4k set has a decent amount of extras. The soundtrack is good. The poster and booklet are nice. The blu ray...is not the best version you can get...and is probably the weakest part of the box set. Overall the package is pretty good. The 4k though is exceptional. This is one of those releases where you can see that the effort has really been made to make the film look good. Noticeable upticks in detail, clarity and texture. Improved colour throughout. I did wonder whether the practical special effects would be less convincing in 4k. They actually look better than they ever have and some of them are exceptionally unpleasant in the best possible way. Some 4k releases end up being very much "for the fans" and have little to recommend them to new viewers. This is not one of those films and you could probably use this disc to show off what a good 4k conversion can be. It's not the best I've seen but it is up there with the best. Definitely recommended.
