The Thing needs little introduction. To this day, John Carpenter’s masterpiece of claustrophobic paranoia is still routinely held up as one of the greatest horror films of all time. It excels in every area, from its knife-edge tension to its innovative practical effects to composer Ennio Morricone’s haunting main theme.
In 2002 a scrappy band of British developers returned to this Antarctic nightmare, bringing players a videogame adaptation and official sequel to the movie a full 20 years after MacReady and Childs were left freezing in the ruins of the research station.
