The Thing (John Carpenter, 1982)

Watched this for the first time today and it almost instantly became a favourite of mine. I thought the performances of the cast were fantastic; I thought that Kurt Russell in particular was great as the main protagonist RJ MacReady. I also thought that Carpenter was great at creating suspense throughout the entire film and was able to keep questioning who was who throughout the entire film. I also thought that the effects held up quite well and the ending was great. Overall, this was a fantastic horror film and has already become an instant favourite.
