Back to Normalcy and a review

Things settle back down as we wait to see if the police turn up anything. Not expecting them to though.

After being told by both [livejournal.com profile] coffeebadass and [livejournal.com profile] laughingfreeman that I needed to see this, I moved John Carpenter's the Thing to the top of my Netflix queue.

I liked it better on this view (I had seen it years ago). The special effects hold up very well and are still quite stomach-churning in places. Kurt Russell plays a Kurt Russell character. The character interaction is quite good, especially in the paranoia filled last half but I thought it was riddled with plot holes. Still, worth watching if you like horror films. My Grade: C+/B-
