I think this is a very interesting movie, basically for two reasons: 1)The fear atmosphere is strong around all the time, the horror plot is suggested but almost never showed, and it increase the suspence and the desire to discover the end. 2)It's a low-cost movie and I appreciate it for this. There isn't special effect, gore or whatever but the odiens are still disoriented by a mysterious direction. This is a clear foot-print of a talent director! Good interpretation of Pierce Brosnan (too much better than 007!!). Enjoy it!

The Thing
(1982)
Probably the best(with Escape from N.Y.)J.Carpenter's movie
6 October 2002
This is one of my favourite S.F. movie. I like to be very precise with the genre because (for me)this is PURE S.F.. Not only for because it is tract by the Campbell's novel, but also for the cut that Carpenter give it. Few movie have its balance between terror and amazing for the unknow, between suspence and beautiful(and also mechanic)special effect! I think this is one of the best example of the Carpenter's talent, and I'm almost sure that he also think to the genius of H.P.Lovecraft for the structure of the storyboard. The end of the movie is very enigmatic and elegance (no good end), with obscure politically reference(like more of Carpenter's movie). Enjoy for all the S.F. fan who doesn't see it. Goodbye!

Few words about a little jewel of horror

The first time I see this movie I was 6 or 7 years old:it was so impressed for me that I never forget it in more of twenty years! In this years i discovered the genius of Richard Matheson, one of the greatest Science Fiction writers, and olso screenplayers(in this case)!! The direction of Dan Curtis of a good rythm, and Karen Black is absolute extraordinare in her triplicate role. I particolary recomended the third segment(Amelia), bone chiller stuff, realy!!! It was a great onor for me to write some words about this movie and about Matheson.Thank you, goodbye!
