Set the template for a decade of alien invasions.
New Yorker
Rating: 3.5/4 --
It features crackling dialogue, deliciously subversive humor, confident and competent heroes, and a healthy air of sexual playfulness between its romantic leads.

Film Frenzy
Rating: 8/10 --
Even though the thing doesn't begin to make its presence felt till near the halfway point... the simple act of watching men discuss strategy ends up being terrifically absorbing.

The overall message of The Thing emerges as distinctly hawkish. Reactionary or not, though, it's still a masterpiece.

Time Out
Lively science fiction film, with dubious politics.
Full Review
Classic Film and Television
The film has more frissons than most of today's mega-budget productions, simply because it has the grace to construct a meaningful situation and coherent characters.

Chicago Reader
Rating: A+ --
The Thing (From Another World) (1951) is an influential and taut horror and science-fiction B-film hybrid, loosely based (by screenwriter Charles Lederer) on the short story Who Goes There? by John W. Campbell, Jr.
