The Thing is better in terms of horror value. One of the scariest movies ever made.
For being created in 1982, its special effects beat the hell out of a lot of the computer generated stuff today.
Plot Summary for
Thing, The (1982)
Page 11 of 33
An American scientific expedition to the frozen wastes of the Antarctic is interrupted by a group of seemingly mad Norwegians pursuing and shooting a dog. The helicopter pursuing the dog crashes leaving no explanation for the chase. During the night, the dog mutates and attacks other dogs in the cage and members of the team that investigate. The team soon realises that an alien life-form with the ability to take over other bodies is on the loose and they don't know who may already have been taken over.
Some of the effects were gut wrenching.
"I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now,
so some of you are still human. This thing doesn't want to show itself,
it wants to hide inside an imitation. It'll fight if it has to,
but it's vulnerable out in the open. If it takes us over,
then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it.
And then it's won."
