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

A solid, workmanlike film that holds up better than one would expect.

Film and Felt
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.

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.

It features crackling dialogue, deliciously subversive humor, confident and competent heroes, and a healthy air of sexual playfulness between its romantic leads.
