In Reply to: Original "Alien" and Jon Carpenter's "The Thing"... posted by darkmoebius on July 11, 2001 at 23:17:11:
Darkmoebius,
Couldn't agree with you more. What p*sses me off is how so many "critics" view these films as one dimensional shock fests, when nothing could be further from the truth. Alien had very little gore
and an incredibly dense, convincing mise en scene. Between "Creature scenes" The Thing was a creepy who-dunnit story.Rich H.
Follow Ups:
Alien forever changed the genre of sci-fi/future/horror. It is now, in my opinion, one of the most imitated films in the last 20 years. The slow, vise-like, still gives me the creeps.'The Thing" never got the respect it deserves. Really, a scary who-done-it, that forever keeps you guessing.
