2D Class Week 13 Film 5 – The Thing

1. Who was the director of the film? What other movies has this director produced? 

John Carpenter.
John Carpenter also directed the original Halloween, Escape from New York, Big Trouble in Little China, and Christine (1983).


2 Artistically, what did you like about this film? 

I enjoyed the practical use of effects for the Thing's imitations, though some were better than others.


3. Who is the thing at the end of the movie ? 

Blair is the last member of the research station shown to be imitated by the Thing, but Childs' lengthy absence during MacCready's last confrontation with the creature may hint he was also infected.
