Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

It's hard to believe anyone who's looking up this movie doesn't already know it's one of the all-time horror / sci fi classics. What you're probably wondering is whether this is the must-have version. And yeah, it is. Scream Factory just doesn't miss. That's all there is to it.

Great horror/sci-fi movie that is a classic. I saw this when I was a kid and scared for months. You really have to appreciate the hard work of non cgi effects of this film. I've always enjoyed John Carpenter's films, but I think this and Escape From New York are my favorites.

One of the best films of all time. Has aged beautifully. Story is great, sound and cinematography is second to none. A must buy for horror fans!!!

Love this movie! The classic FX can out perform newer CGI movies! Also, if you watch the prequel right before, you begin to see the story telling in a whole different way.

I bought this to upgrade most of my John Carpenter movies to Blu-ray. The transfer is updated and looks great. The extras an older documentary that's feature length. There's also newer extras including some newer interviews with the actors.

The THING is a classic and this updated edition makes it even better. The new transfer is excellent. And all the new special features are stuff die hard fans have been waiting for. Definitely pick this one up if you're a fan or have never seen the film.

John Carpenter's The Thing is a horror classic & looks great on the blu Ray version ! Lots of bonus features make this a must own movie & a great addition to any horror movie collection !

This movie was ahead of its time, from the state of the art special-effects, the suspenseful storytelling and the excessive gore John Carpenter made a horror classic. The Thing was been remastered for this edition, and the transfer is AMAZING!!!!!!!

Fantastic blu-ray transfer gives this movie the treatment it deserves. On the edge of your seat suspense and excitement.

This scream factory release is amazing. Transfer is great and gives the movie a whole new feel to it. The movie itself still is freaky and haunting. A great cast lead by Kurt Russell will have you guessing who is going to be the last one alive.

Another awesome release from Scream Factory. Love this movie and the transfer is great. Not the best PQ from SF but still the best one so far. Tons of special features as expected from SF watched an hour of them and that's like half of them.

This is one of my all time favorite films! The Thing is without a doubt a great horror film that still holds up strong! Without will make you be on the edge of your seat if you've never given it a watch! A must buy for anyone curious!

I've been buying versions of this film for about 20 years now. I am not disappointed with this release in the least. This is the definitive version and it's cool that it has the original poster art if you flip the cover. Highly recommend!

Scream factory is really awesome departure from studio releases. Giving catalog classics much better treatment and special features which now a days are rare. The thing is a masterpiece of horror and not to be missed.

This is a favorite of mine as far as sci-fi horror movies goes. I am glad to see they finally came out with a version that is worthy of this movie. Best version of the film I have purchased yet (bought a few versions over the years).

I grew up on John Carpenter's movies. "The Thing" is still my favorite. The HD scan for this blu ray is much better than the first release. The sound leaps and bounds above. I also love the artwork that are done for these releases.

Scream factory gives us a terrific collectors edition of the classic movie. It’s never looked better.

Wow! A must have for any true fan of this movie. Not only one of the best movies ever made - a Blu-ray that is almost just as great. The picture is flawless and the extras go on forever. Pick ASAP and enjoy!
