American science fictionhorror film directed by John Carpenter, written by Bill Lancaster, and starring Kurt Russell. The films title refers to its primary antagonist a parasiticextraterrestrial lifeform that assimilates other organisms and in turn imitates them. The Thing infiltrates an Antarctic research station, taking the appearance of the researchers that it absorbs, and paranoia develops within the group. The film is based on John W. Campbell, Jr. s novella Who Goes There, which was more loosely adapted by Howard Hawks and Christian Nyby as the 1. The Thing from Another World. Carpenter considers The Thing to be the first part of his Apocalypse Trilogy,4 followed by Prince of Darkness and In the Mouth of Madness. Although the films are narratively unrelated, each features a potentially apocalyptic scenario should The Thing ever reach civilization, it would be only a matter of time before it consumes all life on Earth. Carpenter acknowledged that the work of H. P. Lovecraft also inspired the film. On June 2. The Thing opened in 8. It remained in the top 1. The lower than expected performance has been attributed to many factors, the main ones being the runaway success of Steven Spielbergs E. T. the Extra Terrestrial, which was also released by Universal Studios two weeks earlier and featured a more optimistic view of alien visitation,89 and that another major adult oriented science fiction film, Ridley Scotts Blade Runner, was released by Warner Brothers the same day. However, The Thing went on to gain a cult following. The film was eventually reappraised by critics, and is now considered to be one of the greatest horror films ever made. The film subsequently spawned a novelization in 1. The Thing from Another World, published by Dark Horse Comics in 1. The Thing, in 2. 00. October 1. 4, 2. 01.

The film was shot near the small town of Stewart in northern British Columbia. The research station in the film was built by the film crew during summer, and the film shot in sub freezing winter conditions. The only female presence in the film is the voice of a chess computer, voiced by Carpenter regular and then wife Adrienne Barbeau, as well as the female contestants viewed on a videotaped episode of Lets Make a Deal. According to the sign post outside the camp, the Antarctic research team is stationed at the United States National Science Institute Station 4.

The Thing was Carpenters eighth time directing a full length feature and his first film under the production of a major film studio Universal Studios.
