We Watch THE THING For The First Time!

[@ScorpionStrike7]

Movies like this and The Fly are solid evidence that practical effects are better than CGI

[@spid333rlilly]

Omg I remember watching The Fly for the first time and it was definitely something I wasn’t expecting

[@estebandominguez141]

Definitely.

[@TTM9691]

As are movies like "An American Werewolf In London", the 1978 version of "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers", "Alien"....or sci fi movies like "2001" and "Close Encounters". When special effects are done in the camera, they look the most real. (but the human effort is immense! And costly! And time consuming!)

[@charlestonw801st]

@@TTM9691 definitely man the worst part about the Thing prequel is that they had this advanced effects company come in do weeks and weeks worth of practical effects putting people in suits and make up and then the dumbasses for the studio just went in and glazed over EVERYTHING with shitty ass terrible looking CGI it ruined the movie it could’ve been decent if they didn’t do that.

[@FilthTribeFTP]

Simply not true. While practical effects are usually preferred over CGI, they can definitely easily look horrendously worse than CGI. Think of some of the 80s B movies you've seen with just RIDICULOUS practical effects. It makes the movie downright comical. Same goes for CGI.... It can be done incredibly amazing or it can look like Mortal Kombat Annihilation, lol. You also have to take into consideration, that certain effects or placements may look better with one or the other. Usually moving or living beings, especially if it's a talking face, will work better with practical, if done right, to avoid the uncanny valley. But CGI is predominantly better for large landscapes or backgrounds, stuff like that. The best results is when they are both combine to compliment each other. So yeah, I will always prefer practical over CGI on most cases, but only if it's done right. You have to understand that the CGI in The Thing 2011, was horribly rushed due to time constraints, and was painted over the practical effects already shot, so you're just asking for a bad time. Had they spent more money and had more time, the CGI could've looked way better, although, I think with The Thing, it's more about principle than anything, when it comes to using practical effects.

[@zztanerzz]

this movie has some of the best practical effects of all time and i personally love this movie!

[@fauxrowsdower7610]

The dog was played by an animal actor named Jed! Jed was a wolf dog; he apparently creeped out the cast and crew because he was just as still, staring, and undoglike off camera. I believe Jed won some awards for his performance in other movies he was a very good boy

[@virginiapicker]

Yeah, that one scene where Jed was walking slowly down the hall and stopped to look in every open door before moving forward, from what I’ve read he did that without explicit instructions or coaching.

[@shainewhite2781]

The best Sci-fi Horror film ever made! My favorite!

[@jamielee240292]

This movie right here will FOREVER be my ALL TIME FAVORITE ❤️🙌🏽 The suspense building and practical effects are beyond, and Kurt Russell’s glorious mane will go down in history🤩

[@KingOfEmptyPromises]

I saw this on an old black and white tv when I was 10 or 11, one of my all-time favorites, and a huge influence on the stuff I watch today.

[@emilydonahue3267]

Bro you guys could like watch the worst movie in existence but still be entertaining cause you guys are so funny lmfao

[@pinkfluffyunicorn7952]

I absolutely agree 😃

[@chelseat177]

That’s how I felt watching their videos on 50 Shades😂

[@TinaMUFC10]

Hell yeah 😂😂

[@okanefuse1470]

That is how I went through the video on Twilight 😂

[@youtubeistrash953]

Greatest horror film ever made and one of the greatest in general. Not just because of the great cast, ambience, plot etc but because of the concept. Can you imagine anything more frightening? You're on a desolate continent, you're battling an extremely intelligent creature, that is almost indestructible besides against fire/acid, can imitate all life forms and you won't know the difference without a specific test, you have no idea if it's malicious or simply trying to survive, you're dead if it touches you and if it gets to transportation, water or civilization the whole planet is doomed, not only humans. Only thing worse I can think of is utter atomic annihilation.

[@Cappinasd]

Its cause that movie was based off of real events that took place.

[@youtubeistrash953]

Once you realize the dog is the Thing, everything he does looks sus- even his canine facial expressions. 😂

[@MagatsuUjio]

Cast and crew aren’t fully sure how and when anyone got taken over or who was human at the end. It’s amazing.

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

I saw this as kid when it first came out and I loved it ever since. Had the pleasure of meeting David Keith, Wilfred Brimley (❤🌹🙏🏾🕯), and Thomas Waites a few years back). How awesome is it for a 40 year old movie to have practical effects that can still freak the shit out of you?

[@roblesruben16]

This is that one movie I love people seeing for the first time, one of my favorites. The effects are still impressive 👌

[@1.cuzper362]

Guys i was so happy when i saw that there is comming new vid TODAY u guy are awesome

[@WonderOfU70]

You guys are some of the best reactors lol, hopefully one day you guys can do The Lighthouse and The VVitch

[@tangerinemisfit]

One of my all time favourite horror films. The practical effects shit on most CGI effects from these days. Kurt Russell an absolute boss in this film too. What a dude. Awesome film, hope you loved it

[@BangTanPrettiNikki]

This one of my favorite movies of all time. You cut my favorite line out but that okay. The ending is left ambiguous on purpose which makes is daunting as hell. Great reaction fellas.

[@tcteun]

There is a theory Childs (the other survivor at the end) also is the thing, you can see kurt russell is breathing out cold air but Childs isn’t

[@dosnostalgic]

You can see Child's breathing too, it's just not as pronounced because he's sitting closer to the fire.

[@chelseat177]

Coolest thing about this movie is that they had a stunt double that’s a double amputee do the scene when the Thing eats his arms! They put prosthetics on his face to make him look like the doctor.

[@Dinobottenbley]

It’s crazy that the thing is so smart that when Palmer (already infected at this point) looks back and draws attention to the crawling thing that he’s doing it to make himself look less suspicious …until they did the blood test.

[@TheDog-i6x]

The same reason Blair destroyed radio comms and the chopper as an excuse to kill the dogs because they were the real threat to The Thing, being able to spot it easily. This happens in the book too, his freakout being a distraction. Blair was one of the very first, maybe the first of the Americans to be infected. The autopsy scene shows his face juxtaposed with the dog at the final cut, indicating that he got infected while doing the autopsy.

[@MySerpentine]

And as a bonus he can call the other thing a moron without getting noticed :D

[@greengarnish1711]

@@TheDog-i6x Blair was definitely infected once he got isolated from the group via food contamination since he only had that pair of clothing and the Thing knew that so he couldn't assimilate him like the others, he must've realised it and tried to end his life as evident with the noose but it was too late. This is my head canon and seems to be the more logical theory.

[@amandaevans7908]

Such a classic!! I really wish they would use more practical effects these days! And y'all were so right...back then movies had an atmosphere and feel to them! Loved the reaction guys!

[@calumteine2008]

[@wickamo]

This is the most legendary sci fi film as far as practical effects. The guy that did the special effects was very new and this was the first movie he ever did on his own.

[@Iiva69]

Just putting this out there for people who aren't yet aware: As reported by /Film, cinematographer Dean Cundey has finally seen fit to reveal one facet of the infamous movie monster's nature that he and Carpenter have kept under wraps about The Thing for thirty-four years. As featured in the exclusive commentary included on the forthcoming 2K Blu-ray rerelease from Scream Factory (due out October 11, 2016), Carpenter always wanted a visual cue to be in place to hint at which crew members were still human at any point over the course of the production's runtime. Speaking to how they want about achieving this, Cundey states on the 2K Blu-ray commentary: "You’ll notice there’s always an eye light, we call it, a little gleam in the eye of the actor. It gives life." Making Childs the thing, something a lot of people have been speculating on but for wrong reasons.

[@lisaemmerich138]

If you like old school Kurt Russell, watch Escape from New York (if you havn't already. I'm new here).

[@vwmagicarchives]

"I would feel disrespected if my body was used for evil like that, like, you turned my head into a freakin spider" lmaoooo frfrfr tho

[@TheDog-i6x]

Blair was the thing very early on; his manic episode was a distraction in the book, so I imagine it is in the movie too. He goes insane as an excuse to kill the remaining dogs because they could tell who was the thing.

[@jermainehaslam5634]

The Thing and David Cronenberg's The Fly are the best horror films all time, I'd put the fly just a notch above the thing because I'm a sucker for tragic love stories and I think it's cool on a emotional and special effects level seeing a character undergo a horrific transformation, but The Thing is still a fucking masterpiece as scary as they come that film!

[@Jujuthecat]

Yeah the thing and the fly are oldies but goodies. The practical effects are top tier

[@khadijahfrye3543]

Kurt Russel is so freakin cool in both this and Big Trouble Little China. Plus I agree that the Thing is better than the 1st Halloween because it definitely aged better

[@shania991]

I really love him in death-proof stunt man mike was just to cool evil but cool
