Anything with aliens is also *scifi in my book.

Adding video to channels (Scifi) - requested by CaptWillard.

an audaciously nsfw classic.

and still one of my top ten all-time horror flicks.

My favorite Horror flick, I remember watching this with a bunch of friends, by the end we were all looking at each other suspiciously...

I remember seeing this scene when I was 6 or 7 while my parents were watching this movie.
I couldnt sleep for 3 days.

Funnily all TV-Versions of this movie all had exactly this scene edited out. Here in germany, that is.

Absolutely sensational movie, and one of those ones I am baffled as to why they think a remake is needed.

I think the chest/mouth is 10x as brilliant as the head.

@spoco2 yeah, I agree with remake as in re-imagining, but imagine what someone like Neill Blomkamp could do with the special effects. Sort of an "F/X Dub", like the remastered ST:TOS, only frame-by-frame and not just space shots.

@Payback Ahh, but see, I have no issues with the effects of the original (OK, it's not the original, it's a remake itself... but it's 'my' original ).

Do a prequel, or a sequel or something else in the same universe, not the same film again.

Seeing this again after just playing Dead Space 2 makes me think that this movie had to be a huge inspiration to the devs that made the Dead Space games.

Also, "The Thing" is actually a pretty kickass game for the first xbox and ps2 that serves as a sequel for the movie. John Carpenter helped with production and even has a character in it modeled after him. As a third-person survival game with lots of action, half-human alien-bug monsters, and the isolation of the Antarctic base it's basically an early Dead Space. If you see it in a bargain bin somewhere pick it up, good times will be had.

Ah, my favourite horror movie. I just love this movie to death, and Kurt Russell? The icing on the awesome-cake.

I remember the game, it was really cool initially... but kind of fell apart by the end. Still enjoyed it though. It's backwards compatible with the 360, if i find an Xbox copy of the game, I'll have to play through it again
