I could ramble on with this review and waste your time, but do you really need to be told to watch John Carpenter's other masterpiece (the first being Halloween) The Thing? The film is pure perfection in every form and it's something that will live on for generations. I never personally tackled reviewing The Thing on this site before, because I just don't see the point. Us horror fans know that The Thing is a masterpiece, so what exactly can be said about it that hasn't been mentioned a million times before? Nothing, to be perfectly honest with you. If you by chance live in a tiny, tiny hole and have not had the luxury of witnessing this brilliant horror film, well, then now is your chance! Scream Factory releases the definitive version of The Thing on Blu-ray and you bet your ass it is worth picking up!
Movie Review …show more content…
It has fantastic special effects by Rob Bottin and an unforgettable soundtrack by XXX. The films will have you on edge of your seat, wondering who may or may not be human, it features a fantastic jump scare and the ending is hands down, one of the best endings in a horror film. The movie is perfect. Review done.
Blu-ray Opinion
This isn't the first time The Thing has come out on Blu-ray, but it most definitely will be the last copy you'll need to ever pick up. The new 2K transfer is supervised by the almighty cinematographer Dean Cundey, so you know that the version you are watching is the way it was meant to be seen. Some people will complain of a blue tint here and there that wasn't in the other Blu-ray release, but this is the correct look. The transfer is purely phenomenal.
The disc also boasts three audio options, with the new 4.1 option being the best way to hear the film. Recreated from the original XXX, the 4.1 option skips the centre speaker, but fills your other speakers with screams, music and alien
