An expedition of a lifetime becomes a subterranean nightmare in The Thing, the prelude to John Carpenter's 1982 film of the same name. When a simple experiment frees the creature from its frozen prison, it unleashes a flood of chaos and paranoia upon the camp, pitting the team against one another. With the ability to mimic the physicality of anything or anyone that it touches, the shape-shifting creature makes everyone a suspect in this suspenseful psychological thriller. Based on the story Who Goes There by John W. Campbell, Jr. (Gary Reber)
