Starring Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley, T. K. Carter
John Carpenter’s terrifying remake of THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD boasts some of the most impressively gory special effects in all of horror cinema. When scientists at an Antarctic research station discover an extraterrestrial spacecraft under the thick ice, they thaw out the alien body found aboard. What they don’t know is that the strange creature can assume any human form, and before long the scientists can’t distinguish who’s real and who’s a deadly alien threat. Kurt Russell leads the battle against the terrifying intruder in this rare remake to have become a classic in its own right.
