Customer Ratings & Reviews

John Carpenters The Thing, one of John Carpenters best and one of the best science fiction movies of the 80's. 4K version is pretty good, looked good on my LG 86 incher.

An incredible 4K transfer - the kind that makes you wonder why you'd ever watch something in another format. The special effects really pop in a gloriously gruesome way, and the sound mix is fantastic.

seriously i have no idea how many times i have bought different versions of this movie! its just so great i cant get enough of it! definitely a MUST own

The movie itself is great but I am mainly reviewing the steelbook’s appearance. It simply looks great with both its front and back covers and I like how the it has a matte finish instead of being glossy.

This is John Carpenter’s beat movie. It is a scary and, in one scene, a funny movie. Every character in the movie became so paranoid with each other that developed a mistrust. You can’t blame them.

This presentation of John Carpenter's The Thing is fantastic. Colors really pop during the more gory scenes and the DTS-X track really sounds great.

This is a great remaster of an early 80!s film. Always liked this film. Film grain is present but not over done,and the dtsx audio is a great addition and adds greatly to the thrills and chills.

I absolutely love this movie as it has some of the best practical effects for its time! All parts in the movie that include "The Thing" are amazing puppetry and the fact that it didn't get more love until recent day is a shame!!

The Thing is one if the best remakes. It surpasses the 1951 original with a sense of isolation and dread as 12 men are stranded with a creature from another world that can take you over one cell at a time. Paranoia and suspense from John Carpenter one of the Masters Of Horror.

I absolutely love the original movie from the early 50's and this remake with Kurt Russell is still spine chilling and 4K just makes it that much better, just simple a great scifi/horror movie.

Upgraded from a dvd that was designed for a square tv we had black bars on the top and bottom and on the sides but this one fills the screen to the proper aspect and I am seeing things that I have not seen before.

Awesome, one of Carpenters best, the practical effects in this movie are some of the best ever put on film, better than the original, and better than the remake. Trust no one. 9/10

A sci-fi thriller that has stood the test of time for 40 years. Low budget in filming but huge results for the cast and picture. A must-have for your steelbook 4K collection.

One of my great all time favorite thriller! I have this on VHS which I have worn down because of how much I watched it. I’m glad that it is now on 4k blu ray. So much better in this format!

Pulled from a new 2K scan of the original negative, John Carpenter's 'The Thing' has never looked better. I made the leap from a standard DVD version, and the difference is phenomenal. Highly recommended for horror or sci-fi fans, this is a classic, and now looks better than ever.

this new release actually speaks volumes with the cult following of this movie. The new 4k Transfer is way better than the one released by shout factory.. Great buy and a great price.!!

Thank you thank you thank you Best Buy I thought that I miss my chance on getting the steel book because it shows sold out everywhere thank you for having it in the store for the average gas

The Thing has never looked better than it does on this 4K disc! For any fan of the film, I highly recommend picking this version of the film up. The steelbook art is amazing as well!

the picture quality of this brand new picture transfer is amazingly clear and super hi-def. this is one of my all-time favorite movies, and I'm so glad that it has been given the reissue treatment that it deserves. praise & props to the Scream Factory company for putting this out.

Halloween gets all the attention, but this is truly Carpenter's greatest accomplishment. A perfect blend of paranoia, aggression, and grotesque special effects all provided in an appropriately and lovingly compiled and packaged Blu-ray worthy of its enduring legacy. A must own.
