Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Dead of winter and the thing could fit for Semi-coop
  • The Thing
  • The blood testing scene from The Thing comes to mind.
  • My partner and I watch The Thing every winter after the first snow as tradition.
  • The two amazing body-horror 80s movie remakes did this. The Fly and The Thing. Both remakes of B movies from the 50s. (The originals are decent, just nothing like the amazing remakes).

Cons

  • They 'nominated' *The Thing* for Worst Original Score. Ennio Morricone. Worst Original Score. Blow me.
  • Bone Tomahawk (warning for mutilation gore, they beat Terrfier to the bisection thing), The Thing, The Crazies (2010), Dawn of the Dead (original and remake), The Rezort,
  • I feel like their pricing is getting out of hand. Turok 3, Dark Forces, The Thing and Outlaws were also the same price
  • How about some PS2 games; ... The thing
  • There were some others where I had high expectations but didn't enjoy it as much as I expected like no country for oldmen, memories of murder,the thing.

I was always able to look past it in The Thing, though, but *that* scene still bothers me.
