I still say the the original The Thing (From Another World) was one of the best Sci-Fi movies made in the 1950's. It's one of my all-time favorites. I have it on VHS, DVD and DVD in color. It's part of my collection of Sci-Fi, monster and horror movies from the 1930's thru the mid-1960's (around 550). When they stood in a circle after finding out the shape on the alien craft: PRICELISS!!
I'd be really interested to see a colour version. It's definitely holds a worthy place in sci-fi history, even if I feel it doesn't hold up brilliantly
Just stumbled on your channel and have to say I appreciate this very fair review of one of my personal favorite old-time "scary" films. While I find it more suspenseful and creepy than you, I can appreciate your take on the lack of characters actually being frightened. It's a good point. They don't act quite frightened enough to give the film some needed scariness. Still, fun to watch. Nice review!
Thank you for the comment! Horror is probably one of those genres that is hardest to age well, maybe in 50 years films like Hereditary will be seen as tame.
