Still holds up today, the practical effects are awesome.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

45 is honestly fine for what you get.

 

[Nocty]

Timeless classic horror that doesn't spoon feed the viewer or rely on cheap jumpscares

What I would give to go back to this era of horror film making...

 

[Sticks]

We'll never get a movie like this again. Cgi slop aint the same.

 

[poodaddy]

Probably one of the greatest films of all time.

Bought.

Unless you speak Norweigan.

With our names in the credits I expect them to run at least for 30 minutes

We should all get in on it. Love to see a roll call of Gaffers in the credits lol.

 

[Burning Blade]

Big Trouble in Little China, They Live, and The Thing. What a fucking legacy!

 

[clarky]

Probably one of the greatest films of all time.

Bought.

Ah on checking the digital it's only 40 notes. i'll bite at that price, glanced at it this morning over coffee and only saw the 75 version.

 

[AJUMP23]

Is this just the documentary? You are paying $50 for a doc?

I was looking at the 4k, amazon says I bought it last year. I wonder where I put it.

Don't forget Prince of Darkness, Halloween, Escape from New York and the rest!

When he was on a roll his movies were top tier.

A Documentary. It is over 5 hours of content though. I believe the same guy also did the Aliens Expanded one as well.

[Ellis]

Best Sci-fi horror movie ever made. The only one that can top Alien 79'.

Fuck. Forget genres. It's one of the greatest films ever made, period.

I will lap this documentary up.

The Alien one was very good.

You look just like Kurt Russell, uncanny. Whose the other dude?

 

[spookyfish]

Is this by the same group that did the ALIENS documentary? Because I backed that, and bought it, and then a few months later, they came out with a "Look -- new TWO-DISC edition!!" Yeah, felt kinda burned. So, while I want this, I'm a little hesitant.

The Alien one was very good.

So, it is. Be forewarned.

 

[Chuck Berry]

One of my favorite movies of all time. Kurt Russell is easily in my top 3 actors.

I also named one of my new cats MacCready...but of course I just call him Mac.

 

[Trilobit]

Wow, that's you on the right?

 

[Senua]

GOAT

 

[Paasei]

One of the best horror movies.

 

[jason10mm]

I saw a funny interview with Kurt and Wyatt where Wyatt is asked if he would ever play "young Jack Burton/Snake Plissken/MacReady" and he's like "why do people think I would be the 'young' version? Kurt was 10 years younger when he played those roles, I'm almost 40!"

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

I just bought the HELL out of that. Thank you for the post!!

 

[bender]

Fuck, I just paid $100 for a Blu-ray! EviLore , can we please ban clarky for this offense?

One of my favourite movies of all time

A brother from another mother

I'll always remember my old man sticking it on and I was glued to the screen, I shit you not I was about 6

It was different in the 80's, kids knew this stuff wasn't real..

But my God it blew my tiny mind of the possibilities of Sci-Fi. It was like a gun going off on ideas..

The soundtrack really hit it home though



..My wife hates this film, my kid hates this film. God damn heathens I tell you.

time to tie your wife and kid down to the couch, get a petri dish and flame thrower at the ready for an at-home paternity test.

Is Kurt the only dude who has carried the same haircut over his entire career?

On a separate note, Kurt is a great name. Immediately puts anyone on the back foot.

back in college I had an Iguana named Macready after the movie, who my then girflriend at the time would nickname Kurt.

We must have watched this movie together 50 times. Too bad she was a cheating whore in the end.

Damn, hope she hasn't ruined this movie for you. I could get over everything else but not this.

 

[Moondoggy]

Wish they'd just Re-release a new 4K version for $60 that included this instead of by itself for $45, it'd be nice to have everything in one package.

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

I wish they would make a feature length documentary on the making of 1970s Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie. I love that film

 

[Zacfoldor]

So which one was The Thing?

MacReady and Childs?

 

[clarky]

MacReady and Childs?

Could be either or neither. Thats the beauty of the ending imo, a definitive answer would spoil it.

Still waitng for the sequel where MEW drives up in her caterpillar and picks them up and move to a new base.

The Thing is the friends we made along the way.
