Epic Friday - The Thing (Blu-ray)

My Thursday night was spent watching The Thing. We settle in with a huge bowl of sweets and a nice glass of G & T to watch.

An American scientific expedition to the frozen wastes of the Antarctic is interrupted by a group of seemingly mad Norwegians pursuing and shooting a dog. The helicopter pursuing the dog explodes, eventually leaving no explanation for the chase. During the night, the dog mutates and attacks other dogs in the cage and members of the team that investigate. The team soon realise that an alien life-form with the ability to take over other bodies is on the loose and they don't know who may already have been taken over. - IMDB

 To me this film is all about how the men feel about there fellow worker. They have been stuck here for a while but that all changes when something starts to take over them one by one.
They don't know who to trust or what to do to stop the thing taking them over in the process.

After more than a few casualties and figuring out they didn't want to spend the rest of the winter tied to the F**king couch they finally find a way to know there enemy.

Kurt Russel is amazing in this film and incredibly kid arse. The fear he fears feels real and you feel as if you are with him and his team at the Antarctic base.

The picture has been up scaled by the blu-ray and so has the sound (Bom Bom). The prosthetics still hold up well and still even scare me a little.

This fill will always get a 10/10, Hey even 1,000 / 10.
