    This is an outstanding version of THE THING. The colors are like never seen before, blacks are truely black and whites are so bright, ice is beautiful blues and hues therefore. Detailed items I have visually missed before and sonically missed. This rendition is of greater quality than the original theatre quality or any I have ever seen before. I have seen this movie somewhere between 25-30 times

    This is one of the best 4k transfers I have seen. Your gonna notice things you didnt before. HDR is on point too. They easily took 15 years off the indoor scenes alone. Outdoor shots are still a bit grainy but are improved as well. So glad I own this on 4k.

    Dude, the 4K disc of "The Thing" is like a mind-blowing journey into the frozen wasteland of Antarctica. The picture quality is so insanely detailed, you can practically feel the icy chill creeping up your spine. And let me tell you, the practical effects in this movie are off the charts, man. From the grotesque creature transformations to the intense suspense, it's a visual feast that'll leave you screaming for more. So grab your parka, gather your crew, and get ready for a wild ride with "The Thing" in 4K. It's a chilling masterpiece that'll have you questioning who you can trust in the most extreme conditions, bro.

    Whilst missing out on the Steel book cover I did not fret. As owning this film multiple times and in multiple different versions and form factors. I can say this is the most DEFINITIVE way to enjoy THE THING! If you love this film pick this up and if you ever see the steel book back in stock or a new set! Definitely add it to your collection once again!

    John Carpenters THE THING is one of my favorite horror films of all time! Creature effects are top notch back in an age where practical effects were primary methods or special effects. The story is so enthralling and keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time!

    No dolby vision but there is no need, the hdr helps with the color of the snow rooms and skin tones. This is the only way to watch “The Thing”

    This is an incredibly high quality 4K transfer. Defined colors, crisp detail, ans ultra smooth (but realistic) movement. It enhances the already phenomenal practical effects of John Carpenter's sci-fi horror masterpiece.
