The Thing
It starts off with a dirty Norwegian joke and the discovery of a structure & a specimen that sends a team of scientists to the arctic. Unfortunately, they dig up more than they bargain for and must find the enemy hiding among them. This sci-fi horror film has the usual implausibilities, but there are enough frights, scares, and special effects to keep the fans interested. A better film would have paid more attention to its script than focusing on the effects. Alien would recommend seeing or reviewing the two previous movies of the same name to fully appreciate this film. This one is Alien's least favorite. Be sure to stay through the credits for some key scenes.
Alien gives it 2 ½ "trust no one" stars out of 4.
