Directed by John Carpenter, The Thing (1982) is a science fiction horror film set at a remote Antarctic research station where an alien lifeform capable of perfectly imitating humans infiltrates the crew. Starring Kurt Russell, the film explores paranoia and mistrust as isolation and fear escalate among the men trapped in extreme conditions. Adapted from John W. Campbell Jr.s novella Who Goes There?, the film has become one of the most influential genre films of its era. Arrow Films THE ULTIMATE IN ALIEN TERROR Over the years, star Kurt Russell and master of horror John Carpenter have teamed up on a multitude of films (Big Trouble in Little China and Escape from New York to name a few) but of all their collaborations, 1982s horror/sci-fi amalgam The Thing surely tops the list. A research team based out in the snowy wilds of Antarctica find themselves besieged by a terrifying, shape-shifting creature which has found its way into their base. When it becomes clear that the creature can take the form of any organism it so chooses, the tension within the team reaches breaking point any one of them could be... The Thing. Critically panned at the time of its release, John Carpenters The Thing has rightly gone on to become one of the most celebrated sci-fi horror efforts ever made now newly restored by Arrow Films in a stunning 4K transfer supervised by Carpenter and director of photography Dean Cundey.
