I literally just finished watching John Carpenter's 1982 classic sci-fi horror movie The Thing and I'm pretty sure Childs is The Thing. Although that view might change I think it's too convenient that he got lost in the snow.
I only saw movie after only seeing bits and pieces before tonight and I love the entire film. The Thing is mysterious, scary and a lot of fun, especially the blood test scene. My favorite performance was that of Blair played by Wilford Brimley (the Quaker Oats guy) although I would say all the actors did a great job, including Keith David who played Childs and Kurt Russel who is the lead actor.
I also heard that a prequel is in the works scheduled to be released in April 2011. I for one will welcome this prequel as I'm interested in know what happens to the Norwegian team from the beginning of the first movie
Overall, a classic and a terrific thrill ride.
I give The Thing a 9/10! Well done Mr. Carpenter.
