THE THING (1982)

JOHN CARPENTER

Plot

An isolated scientific research station in Antarctica is besieged from within (literally!) by an alien with the ability to take over any living organism. This inevitably leads to conflict and suspicion amongst the scientists. High suspense and excellent special effects make this a fine film.
