I saw the DVDs for two versions of this movie in a store today and bought them. I have seen every version several times. This is a very interesting movie - interesting enough to have been done three times. It is based on a short science fiction story from the late 1930s. The movie versions came out in 1951, 1982, and 2011. In the first version, and I believe the succeeding versions were more or less the same, a research station in Antarctica discovers a spaceship which has been buried under the ice for a long time and digs it up. They recover the body of the sole occupant. The problem is that when the body thaws, it comes back to life. If we ever do meet extraterrestrial aliens, this is exactly what we want them not to be like. In both versions, the alien species is intelligent, but its intelligence is of a very different nature than ours and they cannot be engaged in any real dialog.
In the first version of the movie, the alien is a humanoid, slightly larger than a man, and probably more intelligent than we are, but completely evil by its basic nature. It can live on mammalian blood as a food source and that is the beginning and the end of its interest in us. It hides out in the snow somewhere and gradually tries to kill the research team one by one and make the station uninhabitable to make the survivors more vulnerable. When I describe it, it sounds a bit formulaic and hokey, but it really wasn't.
In the later two versions, more closely mirroring the short story, the alien is capable of assuming any physical form and even splitting into multiple creatures, and it lives by infecting other beings. When infected, you turn into one of them. It is, as I say, also intelligent in these two later versions, because it will pose as your friend and even engage you in conversation, all in an effort to lure you into a situation in which it can infect you. There is a scene in the 1982 version in which the leader of the researchers ties every other person in a chair and takes a blood same from each. He puts the blood sample from each person in a petri dish and one by one sticks a hot wire into the blood samples. His theory is that this will enable him to tell which of the people are human and which are creature masquerading as human. Everyone who is human will have given a real blood sample. Any blood taken from an incarnation of the creature will simply be the creature masquerading as blood and will flee a hot needle.
This is kind of like the 'Alien' movies in that it concerns extraterrestrials that are intelligent, but in such a way that there can never really be a dialogue. Also, like the 'Alien' movies, it concerns extraterrestrials whose basic nature makes them what we would characterize as evil.
Speculation about what we'll find when, and if, we meet extraterrestrials is something one hears a lot these days, and this is exactly what we don't want them to be like - creatures whose basic nature makes them our adversaries and who even evoke disgust.

Cast Of The Thing 1982 Book
Sep 26, 2018 is a 1982 American science fiction horror film directed by John Carpenter and written by Bill Lancaster. Autoplay When autoplay is enabled, a suggested video will automatically play next. 'The Thing' is a great barf-bag movie, all right, but is it any good? I found it disappointing, for two reasons: the superficial characterizations and the implausible behavior of the scientists on that icy outpost. Characters have never been Carpenter's strong point; he says he likes his movies to create emotions in his audiences, and I guess he'd rather see us jump six inches than get.
