The Thing from Another World Reviews
"THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD" A SUSPENSFUL SCIENCE FICTION MASTERPIECE
PRODUCED BY HOWARD HAWKS, DIRECTED BY CHRISTIAN NYBY. THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD WAS PUT TOGETHER BEAUTIFULLY.THIS VERSION OF THE THING DID NOT FOLLOW JOHN H. CAMPBELLS NOVEL AS FAR AS THE MONSTER, WERE AS JOHN CARPENTERS 1982 VERSION OF THE THING DID WITH A MONSTER THAT TRANSFORMS INTO ITS HUMAN VICTIMS HIDING ITSELF.JOHN CARPENTERS 1982 VERSION OF THE THING IS A MASTERPIECE PERIOD.DIRECTOR CHRISTIAN NYBY DOES AN AWESOME JOB USING CHARLES LEDERERS SCREENPLAY WHICH PORTRAYS THE THING AS A ONE MONSTER WRECKING CREW. EXCELLENTLY ACTED, KENNETH TOBEY, ROBERT CORNTHWAITE, MARGARET SHERIDAN, DOUGLAS SPENCER AS REPORTER NED SCOTT AND JAMES ARNESS AS THE THING. THIS MOVIE SHOCKED AND SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME AS A CHILD DURING A SATURDAY NIGHT VIEWING ON PUBLIC TV IN BROOKLYN, NEW YORK DURING THE MID 1970S. THE ONE INGREDIENT THIS MOVIE HAD THAT HAS STOOD WITH ME FOR THE MORE THAN 30 YEARS SINCE I FIRST SAW THE THING, WAS THE MUSIC BY MOVIE COMPOSER DIMITRI TIOMPKIN. THAT MUSIC IN MY OPINION MADE THE THING THE CLASSIC IT IS TODAY. THERE ARE MANY SCI-FI MOVIES WITH GREAT SCORES BUT TO ME DIMITRI TIOMPKINS MUSIC SCORE FROM THE THING IS THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL.IT IS EERIE AND CREEPY. I LIKE HOW THE MOVIE STARTS OFF WITH THE RKO LOGO AND THEN THE MUSIC STARTS AND BLENDS IN BEAUTIFULLY TO THE START OF THE BLIZZARD SCENE. PEOPLE HAVE KNOCKED THE THING FOR BEING DATED AND GOOD FOR ITS TIME, THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD IS A SCI-FI MASTERPIECE THAT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME AND AS FAR AS DIMITRI TIOMPKINS MUSIC SCORE IT SHOULD BE IN THE CLASSICAL MUSIC HALL OF FAME. ENJOY THE THING FOR WHAT IT IS, GOOD SCARY, SUSPENSFUL SCI-FI FUN. IF ITS SPECIAL EFFECTS ARE DATED TO YOU, USE YOUR IMAGINATION, " AND KEEP WATCHING THE SKIES"!!!!!!!!!!
Good ole science fiction
This movie has it all humor,romance suspence& horror rolled into one. You wouldnt mind sitting with your grandchildren and watching this ! Absolutly no foul language . It actually stimulates the imagination. I watched it with my father when I was about 12years old. It scared the heck out of me at that time . It was the 50s generation.It's a great film!!
