Customer Ratings & Reviews

The best US home release of this film, to date. If you own Universal's previous BluRay release, this is more than worth the double-dip.

One of the great genre films of all time. A new transfer. Exhaustive features. The crown jewel of the Scream Factory line. Highest recommendation.

The Thing (1982) to this day remains one the most suspenseful and scary films I have ever seen

A great movie for a fan of John Carpenter's cult films from the 80s. Product was in great shape and contained superior a/v quality and extras!

Great video transfer to Blu ray. Vibrant colors and very clear picture with no grain. Rewatch in 1080P glory. Soundtrack is scary as always.

This is such a classic horror title. I absolutely love this film. It always gives people creeps when they first see it.

One of the best horror films ever made. The fx, acting, and story complete one of John Carpenter's greatest film achievements of all time!

Even if you have the movie on regular DVD, I would say that this is a must get if you love the movie. Great extra features.

This movie has never looked so good, with the new 2k restoration and my 4k tv it looks amazing compared to the other release.

Until a 4K version is available, this is the best I have seen this classic look - especially on an OLED screen. Extra's are nice too.

The Thing is a classic horror movie, and this Shout! Factory blu-ray features good video/audio and lots of special features.

This edition features all new redone visuals and corrections that make the movie feel more immersive than ever before.

This movie has it all Suspense, horror, great FX, and cast. One of the true masters of the genre Wes Cravin does it best.

Great movie! Enjoyed the extras. Be sure to watch the original and the prequel.

Great Movie. This movie definitely sets the bar for futuristic horror movie back in the day. Kurt Russell at his best.

THIS IS BY FAR ONE OF CARPENTERS GREATEST WORKS!!! HAD TO OWN IT SO I CAN VIEW THE PREQUEL THEN CARPENTERS CLASSIC!!

Great atmosphere, music, and the special effects that still look good for today's standards. No CGI here and it is great.

One of the best horror pictures we have. It has a little bit of everything in it plus new extras on this collectors edition.

This movie had great special effects! I loved some of the outrageously gruesome scenes. Kirk Russell was excellent!

John Carpenter's "The Thing" is a classic sci-fi horror film from the 80's starring Kurt Russel. It has a great, tense atmosphere that will keep you guessing right up to the end. It is a bit gory too, so maybe not a great show for younger children, but ages 13 and up should be okay with adult supervision in my opinion.
