Passed uncut for cinema. Also passed uncut for video in 1987.

In the winter of 1982, a twelve-man research team at a remote Antarctic research station discovers an alien buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Soon unfrozen, the form-changing creature wreaks havoc, creates terror... and becomes one of them.

The Thing was on the Section 3 Nasties List and were liable for seizure and forfeiture by the police.

    I simply love this film and could watch it anytime. Again, it’s about the emotions for me when I watch a horror film. Imagine being isolated, hundreds of miles away from civilisation with an alien that can replicate human forms. An unusual all-male cast, but I think that adds to the tension, you have Alpha and Beta males. Add that to amazing special effects, and you have an absolutely superb film and one of the best horror films of the 80s.
