When it opened in June 1982, audiences weren't ready for it—it bombed against E.T. and was widely dismissed, even as its atmosphere of paranoia played out on screen. Decades later it's considered a landmark of practical effects filmmaking and one of the great ensemble horror films ever made. Hyams—whose BAFTA-nominated Mr. Burton is now in US release—has loved this film since seeing it at an outdoor cinema in Greece as a child. He brings a filmmaker's eye to Rob Bottin's creature work, Morricone's bare and atmospheric score, and a film that, as he puts it, \"draws you in, it doesn't patronize you—it is a grown-up, cerebral, well-told horror film that takes its time.\" Forty years on, it's earned every word of that. 🎬 Watch & Discover 👤 Meet Josh Hyams: IMDb 🍿 Watch The Thing: Apple TV | Amazon | Letterboxd 🍿 Watch Mr. Burton: Apple TV | Amazon | Letterboxd 📽️ The Thing — Original Theatrical Trailer 📽️ Mr. Burton — Official Trailer 📚 Adapted from Who Goes There? by John W.
