Antarctica: an extraordinary continent of awesome beauty. It is also home to an isolated outpost where a discovery full of scientific possibility becomes a mission of survival when a creature is unearthed by a crew of international scientists. In the thriller The Thing, paranoia spreads among a group of researchers as they encounter something inhuman that has the ability to turn itself into an exact replica of any living being.

When a simple experiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate must join the crew’s pilot, Carter, to keep it from killing them off one at a time. And in this vast, intense land, a parasite that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish.

Starring: Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Jonathan Walker (II), Kim Bubbs
Directed by: Matthijs Van Heijningen

My favorite part of John Carpenter's "The thing" is when Norris played by Charles Hallahan has a heart attack. But when Doc played by Richard Dysart attempts to revive him by defibrillation, Norris' torso transforms into a giant mouth and bites off Copper's arms. When his head grows legs like a spider and runs off you hear Palmer say. You gotta be f***king kidding"

To this day that part still gives me the willies.
