5) The Thing (1982)
Trending
In this film, a de-topped, downtrodden research team in remote Antarctica has a shapeshifting alien who can take on the form of any living creature that appears on their doorstep. Hilarity quickly turns to paranoia and distrust as one misguided suspicion creeps into another. John Carpenter, the director, gives us themes of isolation, survival, and the fragility of human relationships in extreme circumstances. Given the groundbreaking practical effects and tense atmosphere, it is a landmark film in horror cinema.
The characters' psychological deterioration adds depth to the story; it is, after all, a horror tale of unknown terror.
