2) The Thing (1982)

John Carpenter's The Thing is considered today a cult sci-fi horror classic, but it was anything but acclaimed in 1982. Drowned out by Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, audiences and critics alike condemned the film to be too grotesque, too ghastly, and bleak. Yet over the years, its outstanding practical effects and icy ambiance attracted a devoted cult following. Its exploration of paranoia and trust remains timeless, making it a cult favorite decades later.
