"I think we are kind of prepared for this one.." Oh, sweet child, you really aren't.
A movie that people and critics hated but now everyone loves it. The Thing is a classic.
It was just too damn successful at being a massive horror gross-out fest than people could stand at the time, by those days standards when most people saw such a jump in hyper-gore, realism of death, all they really tended to think is someone who comes up with such things is surely disturbed and therefore contemptible for being too sick minded lol but that's what makes him John Carpenter, he and Sam Rami started the trend of making it so popularly cool by doing it before it was cool, when it actually bled and image scarred all over people's psyches in ways that hadn't ever been done before.
Yeah, I prefer the Thing, but the older films (1982 and the 1950s one) are good, too!
@@MyndirThe 1982 film by John Carpenter, the one in this react video, is the best version.
Very true.
Not everyone
There's a little joke that almost no one will ever get in this movie. When Windows is sleeping at the radio and is abruptly awakened he is holding a magazine called Photoplay. Photoplay magazine had been out of print for over a year when this movie came out.
That's how isolated they are. He's reading a magazine that is, at the very least, a year old.
😆
And just think... Windows and Macs are still around today.
22:00 "It's like werewolf game" Yes, actually, "werewolf, "mafia", and "among us" are all inspired by this movie.
Which was a remake but better than the original.
@@binxbolling Not really a remake. This movie and "The Thing from Another World" from 1951, were both inspired by John Campbell's novella, "Who Goes There?" from 1938. But the plot of Carpenter's film is far closer to the original story than that earlier "Thing."
@@binxbolling The orignal is pretty good, scary too, for it's day, nothing like it. I grew up with the remake, it was my favourite, my 2 younger brothers preferred Alien.
The mafia game? How so? Never played it.
11:29 Hella: "It's a dog alien... doglien!" 🤣❤
I'm about to turn 40, I work in a machine shop. when I see chi and hela are about to watch the Thing, I immediately drop everything to watch It. hahaha.
Thank you 🙏 🥹🥰
The dog that played the alien was just a weird dog. That was just how he acted. He never barked. He would just stare at what was going on. Instead of trying to get the dog, Jed, to do what Carpenter wanted, which he sometimes did, he found it infinitely easier to setup and just wait to capture the creepy things he did on set. There were days that Carpenter, or a Unit Director just followed Jed around all day. Jed eventually became more affectionate to the cast and crew, but by that time his principal scenes were wrapped. Some dog people think that he acted strangely because he didn't trust all the new humans around him. I guess we'll never know, but he did 2-3 more films (a rarity for animal actors, especially dogs) and passed at the ripe old age of 18 (1995). Which is ANCIENT, especially for a malamute-wolf mixed breed.
Partly he acted strangely because wolves don't act like dogs . . .
Whoever picks your movies should get a big raise
Would u want them to see the passion also?
@@rauben7919The passion of the Christ only works if you’re a Christian and still believe the mythology. If not, it’s just a silly and bloody film.
Omen 😈
It makes for the best cute girl reaction porn.
The Thing is a classic. Good job.
About the Norwegian in the opening: he's shouting "THAT'S NOT A DOG!!!" but since no one at the American camp speaks the language, they think he's just gone nuts. Brilliant bit of plot building from Carpenter since few of us speak that language and the movie shows that he wasn't so crazy after all.
'That's not a dog! It's a devil-hound! Get away! Idiot!'
If every American in the camp spoke Norwegian, they still would have thought he was crazy.
Blair didn't go crazy.
He destroyed all the radio equipment and the helicopter to make sure nobody could escape. That way the alien also couldn't escape and the human race is safe.
@murrayroodbaard207 IKR! those who watch this movie for the first time never understand at first
Yeah, better to die there then sacrifice humanity.
@@SirCuddlesWorth mmm-hmm, that's right
Or he was already alien and he wanted to be sure no humans could leave the camp and warn about the threat. This fits with him destroying his medical records on the servers and all the equipment because he'd know everything the host knew.
@@rickymoranjr9609I don't understand why that is. I watched this movie for the first time back in like 1999, and it's so obvious. I mean, they show the computer simulation Blair ran and everything. It doesn't take a genius to realize he was prepared to die and sacrifice the whole team that wasn't yet infected to prevent it spreading to a populated area.
11:29 "its like a dog-alien....doglien" 😆
😂
I had to rewind to make sure I heard that right. 😂
lol@ "Poor Windows, Poor Him" 🤣There reactions are funny.
Adorable
"Big Trouble in Little China" same director and actor. very good!!!
“It’s all in the reflexes.”
@@himwhoisnottobenamed5427"Son of a bitch must pay."
You were not put on this earth to 'get it'.
“You’re f*cking kidding me”. Hela: “ no one’s kidding “ absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Best bit is that "You gotta be fucking kidding" guy . . . is also a Thing.
The Thing is one of the best horror films of all time. The special effects are amazing
Rob Bottin was only 22yrs old when he did the practical effects for this, too!
Other reactors/viewers recently said about this movie "why are the effects on this movie so real!?", this surprise is because modern viewers, expect all old movies to look worse than modern CGI fests, but when practical affects, are well done and masterfully filmed, they can be way more realistic than CGI.
And remember this movie is from 1982 has zero CGI and most of its effects still impress in 2024, 42 years later.
That reminds me when I played the beginning of the original Alien movie to my very young nieces and nephew. When witnessing the various practical effects, they kept asking: "Is this real?"
I wholeheartedly agree. CGI is so played out for me.
A couple of computer and game console screens display Computer Imaging, which was later renamed CGI.
The chess game machine and the graphic showing cells being modelled being 'over-taken' by The Thing, are some of the earliest uses in film.
A few years later came TRON and The Last Starfighter, which had whole-screen imaging, a major step forward.
@@stevetheduck1425 Supposedly, Westworld was the first movie to use CGI. And it was full screen CGI but super low resolution / low quality. Though it served it's purpose for offering the point of view of the killer robot. Low resolution robot vision.
@@stevetheduck1425 I personally don't consider those CGI, as I think of it more than simple images on computer screens, thou I get your point and technically they are computer generated imagery.
The reason that dog was so "well trained" is because it's actually a wolf-dog hybrid. So it was naturally acting with slow, suspicious movements that was absent in the normal behavior of the average dog. It also helped the actors look more unsettled around him because the actors didn't appreciate being so close to a wolf without the handler next to them. The wolf-dog was apparently a really well behaved animal on set, he didn't attack anyone. Plus I think it really sells the uncomfortable beginning of this movie.
I watched one reactor who commented, "It's like it read a manual on how to act like a dog." Which, in a way, it did.
@@danieldickson8591 that was Maple and Arianna @diegesis. 👍🏼
Yeah, It's mother had been mated with a wolf, and the wolf side was quite obviously the dominant one.
It really un-nerved everybody on set because it never barked or growled.
Never made a sound
Thank you for sharing this vital information.
...or maybe they were directed to act unsettled?
Chi and Hella are the dynamic duo! So good!
"The Thing" is in my top 5 Sci-Fi films of all time! Super cool you guys get to watch it for the first time!
9:06 "no, with two head. that's not normal." -Hella
that is not normal at all.
The Thing had assimilated the saying “two heads are better than one”, but took it too literally.
"I wish the dog could talk" - I wish that all the time
You want to hear a dog tell you how he's hungry, horny, sees a squirrel, then he's hungry again...?
I don't think I would want to hear what this "dog" had to say.
SNL did a funny skit with Scartlett Johansson that involved a "talking" dog. The sketch is called "Translator".
ha! I really had to laugh at the "Like crab legs" line. I thought the same thing when I first saw this movie. Great reaction.
A small detail: almost everything in this movie is made with practical effects (puppets, dolls, fake blood, etc)
The scene with the burned alien was so bad they had to leave the set to get some air.
It was such an incredible achievement that the special effects department was hospitalized for exhaustion.
About the Ending. The director did film multiple endings one of which was a happy ending were MacReady wakes up in hospital, having been rescued. He immediately tests himself to see if he is infected and it comes out negative.
The audience reaction was not pleased with it because after the whole tense movie, ending it on a positive note felt unearned:
Your whole team is dead. Your base is destroyed. An infectious alien bacteria might be loose on the planet and tou want to end it with a nice positive ending?
So it was decided to abruptly end it here and leave the fans guessing what the next hour could happen:
When Palmer ( different clothes to before the dog visited ) passed that spliff to Childs, the ending is fixed - and both Palmer and Childs are putting clothes on when disturbed by the fire alarm.
But the world is doomed anyway, as the Thing is in little bits all over the camp. If the rescue party ( at any future time, remember ) finds a piece of organic tissue frozen, the whole Thing starts again.
@stevetheduck1425 My order started with Norris and then Palmer... but whatever the order, I would like to give some hope to the protagonists and say that: you need a high dose of cells to make make a new Thing because if it was such a good spreader, it would have done a better job licking all the door handles and waiting for everyone to get infected, or sneezed when they were in the same room.
So let's say it needs maybe a dose of cells the size of a hand or a finger.
And it needs to break the skin and enter the bloodstream.
Then we can have a movie.
@@stevetheduck1425 someone pointed out that in the last scene you saw steam when Kurt Russell spoke but when Childs spoke no steam so he must be a Thing. but Russell character couldn't anything about it.
They chose....... Wisely
@@schirpikYou absolutely can see Keith Davids breath because they filmed on location and it was cold. You couldn't CGI that out even if they wanted to, especially in 1982. Also, when Bennings is turning, one of the most iconic scenes in the film, the steam coming from his mouth is one of the most notable aspects. So yeah, the Thing would still produce steam when breathing.
Interesting Facts: when the Thing imitates someone, it perfectly duplicates every cell with such precision than it actually retains the memories, knowledge, and personality of the individual it copies. Norris (the guy who’s chest bursts open, chopping off the doctor’s hands with its bear-trap teeth) had a bad heart, and when the Thing took him over and perfectly imitated him, it also faithfully recreated his heart defect, which eventually caused Norris to suffer a heart attack for real during a high-stress moment. The Thing would have been happy to hide itself in a presumably “dead” body, but it couldn’t tolerate the electro-shocks from the defibrillator and was thus forced to reveal itself. Of course, the amazing scene where Norris’ head separates from his burning body, slides onto the floor, and pulls itself away, transforming into a crab/spider with his upside-down head as its body, and tries to crawl away unnoticed, is an iconic moment! (Incidentally, at the beginning of the movie, the spaceship was flying erratically because the crew was desperately trying to fight off the Things that were aboard their vessel and causing havoc. That’s why the spaceship attempted to make an emergency landing on the nearest planet and ended up crash landing in the Antarctic. Only one of the Things as survived the crash and made it out of the ship alive, only to freeze in the ice.)
Thank you for sharing this vital and fascinating information-l was wondering why Norris would have a heart attack when he was one of the Things.
Although I would think if Norris had a bad heart he wouldn't have been there to begin. I think the US Military only selects completely healthy individuals for these missions
I think it's portrayed like a virus which hijacks a healthy cells own machinery to replicate. Naturally it keeps aspects of its own coding which gives the host ability to transform into other things that it has had contact with. It's like what Frank Herbert talks about in his "Dune" novels a "genetic memory" if you will. Can consciousness be encoded genetically? It's an interesting question.
15:51 "[gasp] it wake up it's breathing!" -Chi
😮
There are a couple of scary moments that are really very simple and there's not actually much to see. But they work really well.
Like the blood jumping out of the dish when it gets touched with the wire.
"Fire, fire him, set him On fire!" 😂😂😂
You're fired!
I love how you put all your emotions into these reactions, thanks ladies!
12:16 "it's like crab legs or something." -Hella
😆
"You gotta be fucking kidding!"
Hela: "Nobody is kidding!"
😂
Kurt Russell mistaken Norway for Sweden I think it's funny, and I'm a Swede! 😂😜
Norway is our neighbour country.
Every time you girls react to scary classics and masterpieces, I want to hug you.
Both for reacting to classics and also because you're really sweet when sh*t gets scary.
You may have made some wrong assumptions at the beginning of the movie but you kept asking questions and asked sooo many of the right questions. I would gladly survive a sequel to this movie with you ladies any day
15:51 Always gets me. Such a basic effect but SO DAMN EFFECTIVE! No one looking at a corpse under a blanket just as it's breathing. Such a cliche but still gets me!
That one and the blood jumping when it's touched with the hot wire.
There is nothing scary to see, but its happening at just the perfect moment.
Q-“where was he trying to go?
A-Hella-back to his home town
That’s right Hella the alien was trying to get back to his town
Delightful.
Sounds like a line from Futurama.
Do Aliens not have home towns? Or is it more home orbital. Or home dome. XD
"A tub"...LMAO! Thank you for making me laugh my loves.
These girls are fantastic at reaction videos. I’ve teared up with them, cheered with them, and this is the only reaction channel that’s made me laugh out loud. They’re pure gold. I look forward to seeing each new video. Great job.
I love the ambiguous ending. The Childs being the thing theory because you can't see his breath never made sense to me. You can see his breath, it's even clearer on Hi-def Blu-ray's. Plus, Benning's breath was clearly visible as he yelled. Of course, the theory where MacReady replaced the alcohol with gasoline and Childs not reacting when he drank it proving he's The Thing, is still going strong. Or the gleam in the eye theory, where every actor who was human had it, but Palmer didn't during the blood test scene. Whether you believe it's Childs, MacReady, both, or neither, It's a great film that still holds up to this day.
I read something from the director years ago about this scene. The flat eyes was just how the film came out in developing, so was a red herring. I think the breath was also a non-issue as it was just missed on the edit. But the whiskey was significant. The fact that Childs just drank what could be an infected drink showed that he was already turned fully into a thing so would not have cared. And macready gave a little laugh, he knew that childs had just gave himself away.
The director gave a really big clue on childs getting jumped. Remember when they went outside to check on blair, found his ship, and then the camera was panning thru the base. It stopped for a second showing the stairs to the basement, then panned up right to the door that childs was waiting at, showing just how fast someone could come from the stairs to the door.. big hint there by the director. Childs would never had time enough to turn and fire.
Palmer was the man seen in shadow, and the dog attacked. Palmer passes a spliff to Childs. Childs behaves like normal the rest of the time. Was he ever blood-tested?
@@stevetheduck1425 Childs was tested and passed. But that was long before he was guarding the door alone. Thats when he got nom-nom'ed.
It couldn't have been Mac. Right at the end, when he takes on The Thing alone, at that point it's just him and the Thing. They're not two Things - Mac would have no reason to pretend to be human in front of a fellow Thing, and to pretend to be Mac if he wasn't him. So, Mac finishes the film as Mac.
The reason you couldn't see the breath of the thing is because it's room (ambient) temperature, it doesn't care how cold it gets. That's the theory of that.
3:25 "that's a mistake." -ChixHella
that's a major whoopsie!
If anyone had spoken Norwegian the rest of the movie wouldn't have happened. The thing must have killed any English speakers at their camp, and there probably had been at least one.
“The whole systems” “doglien” hahahaha 😂❤
OHHHH MY GOD YES! This is going to be phenomenal. My favorite sci fi horror flick and my fav foreign reaction gals. I’m seriously going to make some popcorn for this.
Aren't you glad they saved that dog?
😭😭😂
You two are so serious and hilarious at the same time. The best gift for a reactor ❤😊
I love that the movie still inspires debate among fans; like "who sabotaged the blood bank?" and "is Childs a thing?".
It's the genius of the movie to leave us with mysteries. Nothing happens that's inexplicable, but the film doesn't spoon-feed us all the answers. It gives the audience credit for the intelligence to fill in the blanks ourselves.
Dog 'gets' Palmer, Palmer passes a spliff to Childs. Both are getting into new clothing when the fire alarm sounds shortly after.
@@danieldickson8591 We never really know what the alien does. Does it take over a person or does it shape itself like a person?
Also, the movie always makes it easy to forget that there is not just one alien because the characters keep calling it "that thing", They kill at least four, but there could be a lot more of them.
Pretty sure Palmer got the blood bank, he's being slightly too inconspicuous the whole time and he was nowhere to be seen when Blair was freaking out.
Also locks wouldn't be a problem to something that can morph into any shape and size. It'd just stick a "finger" into the lock and twist.
At 12:18 "It's like crab legs"...yep. I think the same thing everytime I watch that scene. Like, okay, where's the melted butter?
hah imagine an edible version of these monstrous puppets.
@@OptimusPrimeribsI don't know if to laugh or to feel grossed out 😂
One of my favorite movies. Its more of thriller than a pure horror movie. It does a great job of building tension trying figure out who is infected and who isn't. It does a great job of leaving some clues and others that deliberately misdirect. The guy that loves the dog is the most obvious choice to be infected since he spent most time with IT yet he wasn't infected. At same time we know Blair isn't infected in beginning when he goes crazy but we don't know how long after the thing got to him. He was alone the longest so makes most sense he would be targeted. I also love how they end the movie, not knowing if they killed the Thing or not. One of them could be infected, neither could be infected or maybe both of them. The director said that this Thing can do such a perfect imitation that it could convinces its self its human. So it makes a more perfect disguise if it doesn't even know if its an alien. Meaning the Thing would be willing to kill off the other infected as long as it survives to the end.
I love the different mutations of the alien virus when people transform, plus the sound they make still gives me chills
"The thing" is a masterclass in suspense and horror.
It's easy to make horror with gruesome visuals and lots of gore but suspense is much trickier.
So many elements done so well: the cinematography, the lighting, the sound, the music, the pacing... arguably John Carpenter's best work.
True and the gore is so creative and done to perfection here.
@@danieldickson8591 also the environment/weather is a major "character" as well IMO. They are in the bitter, deadly, freezing cold of Antarctica. The weather itself can easily kill everyone as well.
The complexity of who is infected and when is extremely well worked out; how the keys dropped by Windows open the blood store, and then get back to Garry, is something that happens unseen, as well.
This movie is based on a short story written in 1938 called "Who Goes There?" by John W. Campbell
YEEEEESSSSSS. This is my favorite horror movie of all time. The effects still hold up 40 years later. It proves you can do a great movie on a low budget without CGI or all well known actors as long as you have great writing.
and great monster design.
the opening of the movie, when you guys say you feel bad for the dog and really care about them shooting the dog, is gold. knowing this movie.
the fact that you watched the extended or .. directors cut version is impressive lol .... good for you ladies haha
my dream came true!! so happy that you've watched such a classic...
"A giant bathtub".😂😂😂😂😂These two are so funny and adorable at the same time Lol.
The Fly (1986) gotta be up next!
And a much better film.
"GAWD DAMN WINDOW! OH MY GAWD DAMN!" LoL
The THING is on the list of some of the best remakes ever.
Along with "the FLY", "the BLOB", the vincent price "House of WAX", the 70's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and "Invaders from MARS".
Ever noticed that some of the best remakes are either horror or sci-fi?
I prefer the 50's versions..not to say the remakes are not good....The THING for sure... "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" not so (for me anyway).....Just that the old versions take me back to the 70's when I first saw them.
This is such a good movie. Scary, even some 40 years later. I love the ending, very open ended. To this day people debate which one of the two remaining guys was infected. I knew this was gonna be a fun watch when I saw it in my feed, and I wasn't disappointed.
Hella also looks super cute with the bow in her hair 😁
‘No ones kidding!’ 😝 28:16
I love you girls. Thank you so much, and may God Bless you from America! My father died during the Vietnam War trying to make you free.. it was an ugly and unnecessary war for everyone, but you seem to be free now. That is the way of things sometimes? .. and I know that he’d be so very happy to know the both of you, and that you are free! Thank you so much and may you always be happy and free! ❤
This is a treat. John carpenter was considered the king of horror back in the 80s. He's most famous for the first two Halloween movies.
These two are adorable becoming one of my favorite reaction channels
🥰🙏
Oooooh yeah, this day has given me what I didn't know I needed, one of my favorite movies with my favorite reactors watching it.
Have fun! This movie has some of the best practical effects ever. 👽
I have watched this film since I was a small child in the 1980s. One of my top 5 movies of all time due to the special effects, acting and tension that is created. It was fun to see you both react!!!
We got lucky here in America during the 80s growing up. Our parents let us watch A LOT! I seen this movie when I was 11. I have loved this ever since!❤❤❤❤
Can I just say that the dog in this might be the best performance by an animal ever in a film? Kudos to the good boi and his trainer.
It's always a great pleasure to watch the reactions. Especially the impulsiveness of HELLA ... I love it.
19:17 "he wants." -Hella
😆
There is a prequel to this movie called (strangely enough) "The Thing" made in 2011. It ends where this movie begins.
And then if you want another example of "body horror", I recommend "Event Horizon" (1997).
Aside from that, how's about some comedy?
"It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" (1963)
"The Great Race" (1965)
"How to Murder Your Wife" (1965)
"The Fifth Element" (1997)
See you next time, ladies!!!
I note when Childs" suddenly appears near the fire at the end, Hella frantically asks: "Who's there? Who's there?" I find this interesting because that quote is very similar to the title of the novel "Who Goes There?" which the film is based on. Very fitting.
Oooooh, they are gonna be freaked! Can't wait.
The thing is the first of a trilogy known as the apocalysis trilogy. The other two films are, Prince of Darkness and In the Mouth of Madness. The films adapt ideas of cosmic horror in their stories.
wow, seriously thank you, didn't know that.
"Prince of Darkness", featuring a cameo by rock legend, Alice Cooper. A film that came out the very same year (1987) as "Robocop", which featured a cameo of rock legend, Eddie Van Halen.
@@ObsceneVegetableMatter
In the Mouth of Madness is my favorite film of the trilogy, because in it evil is created by the human mind itself, which manages to materialize its most primal fears on the physical plane.
@@ObsceneVegetableMatter you can say that again .RIPSNORTER OF A MOVIE
How about watching Event Horizon. Apparently they shortened the original by 30 minutes because when the directors cut was screened people were walking out of the cinema in disgust
The doglien got me😅😅.. you two are just hilarious every damn time ...😊
I love how everyone cheers for the dog at the start of the movie lol
Still a great remake with good special effects. The orininal was made in 1951 (The Thing from Another World). Always enjoy your comments. You are so much fun to watch (mean that in a good way).
Thank you for bringing one of my favorite films ever. Love you.
"Wear your pants first " classic.😅
A true classic. Consider reacting to the films "The Fly" (1986), "The Fifth Element" and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise.
My favorite part of the entire movie is when Blair is saying he's better now, meanwhile there's a noose hanging behind him lol
Fan theory is that Macready smiled when Childs drank the whisky at the end because the whisky bottle contained gasoline as a test for anyone who showed up. Childs was a thing so just imitated a man drinking whisky without realising so Macready smiled upon realising Childs was a thing. Also throughout the movie, everyone who is human has a little white dot in their eye from light reflection and everyone who is a thing doesn't.
Great to see the lovely, intelligent, and beautifully dressed Chi & Hella doing another rection!😊 When Norris collapsed they thought he had a heart attack because he wasn't breathing. It appears he was infected by eating food contaminated by the thing. I think Blair was most likely infected by the thing that escaped through the roof of the dog kennel. Other possibilities is that Palmer (The Thing) got to him, he was contamined doing the autopsies, or ate contaminated food like Norris (Chest explosion). This film is clearly ahead of its time being made 42 years ago. We need more films now with impressive practical effects.😉 In the only proposed sequel Mac and Childs were apparently not infected, but the rescue team finds burnt alien remains that were still alive. The prequel to this film, "The Thing" (2011) is not very good, and should be skipped. Excellent emotional reactions to this scary horror thriller, Ladies!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
35:26 Chi's potty mouth and the first time I've heard Hela curse!
This is one of my all time favourite movies, like you said at the end the movie is very different to other horror movies. Usually they get to fight back against the monsters. This movie creates such paranoia because you don't know who's human and who's an alien. That tension no movies has ever really been able to recreate. There's even a very interesting fan theory that MacReady(You called him Mark) is the thing because of the way he can infect people with the bottles of alcohol. Interesting stuff, glad you enjoyed it. Keep up the great work.
On the left is an angelic voice, and on the right is a sweet girl. Very funny girls
0:35 "..i think we're prepared..."
😏
Blair realized that none of them could leave. Unfortunately he didn't make that clear to the others. They did figure it out at the end and went on the attack. They were dead anyway so might as well try to take the thing out with them.
The problem being that if only a single cell could take over a host. There are bits of "thing" all over the place. All it will take it someone to touch it and they'll be infected. In this case, the original "Thing From Another World" made more sense. Not as horrific. But more reasonable. That is also a movie worth watching btw.
So Glad you Ladies ✔️'d this out!!!! saw this as a child BnD and it STILL holds up as one of the Greatest Suspense Horror Scifi's EVER made!!!,,,it was an honor to experience it WithYall Thank You🥰
You guys are so fun to watch. You make me laugh 😅
5:25 "The dog knows something." Yeah, he knows something alright.
This quote by MacReady at the end; "Why don't we just wait here for a little while. See what happens" Makes me think MacReady got infected because waiting there to go into hibernation to later be discovered is what The Thing wanted. MacReady was all about keeping it from going into hibernation but all of the sudden he changed his mind. He also smiled when he got Childs to share that bottle and he then used the word "we". As if both of them were now infected and both of them would just wait until the rescue team arrived to thaw them out.
22:58 Hela: "how did this thing work..?" 😂🤣 Thanks for making some of us feel old 🙄😅👌🏻🙏🏻
Excellent reaction ladies. I realy enjoyed watching you react and your analysis of one of my favorite movies. 👏
“The dog is not normal!” Honey, you got a big storm comin’ 😂😂 one of the host hilarious first reactions I’ve ever seen on here
Most 😅
I love to watch Chi and Hella watch movies. They should star in their own movie (behind the scenes) or a "best of reactions" vid. If they made it available for download, I think it would do very well. 🎎
Interesting facts about The Thing (1982) Tobe Hooper Was Originally Chosen As Director. Today, The Thing is widely regarded as one of John Carpenter's best works. But the job nearly went to fellow horror maestro, Tobe Hooper. Universal had secured the remake rights for The Thing from Another World ( itself an adaptation of John W. Campbell's novella Who Goes There?), and they had Hooper under contract at the time. Hooper had released The Funhouse under Universal in 1981 - just one year before the release of The Thing. Hooper was instructed to write up a rough draft, but Universal was unhappy with his ideas and decided to ditch him for someone else. (2) The Effects Budget Was Greatly Inflated. After Carpenter agreed to make the film, The Thing was given a rough $10 million budget from Universal, with just $200,000 of that allocated for creature effects. However, storyboarding grew so extensive and ambitious that Universal was forced to up the budget from $10 million to $15 million. Universal also realized that the make-up department was quite extensive, and they agreed to allocate $750,000 (up from $200,000) for the effects work. But even this went over budget, and Universal eventually spent $1.5 million on the movie's visual effects. (3) Bottin Was Hospitalized For Stress. Rob Bottin had a particularly challenging job in overseeing the movie's special effects, and it took a toll on his physical health. Bottin was so dedicated to his craft that he often did the most difficult tasks himself, literally lived on the set, and worked for one straight year without taking any days off. He was eventually hospitalized for double pneumonia, a bleeding ulcer, and exhaustion - all a result of the stress and work load. Bottin was just 21 years old at the time.
The Thing is that I'm excited to watch this The Thing reaction!
I'm so glad you reacted to this 👍🏻
You ladies are on a run with those movie choices. Love the Emotions during the reaction.
I love this movie as it's one of the rare ones that is considered perfect to me.
I always believed it was Childs that was infected. When they went to test Blair we can see Childs nodding off. Chances are it has been a couple of days and none of them had sleep. If Blair was in the engine room the entire time he could have snuck up and got him. The ending, Macready is holding a bottle. I always thought that was Gasoline for the Molotov's. I figured he would drink it to kill himself when Childs shows up. When he drank it, Macready laughed because he knew it wasn't Childs. That and the earlier comment when Fuchs said they should eat from cans and prepare their own meals. If Childs was suspicious why would he accept a drink from Mac?
I'm duly impressed! You kept track with the names of the characters. Many other "reactioners" can't manage that.
Having seen the Thing many times i got a kick of watching you both seeing for the first time was funny your being so shocked.
