John Carpenter's classic sci-fi horror masterpiece lets audiences shiver at the thought of its chillingly ambiguous end. After a grueling battle with the shapeshifting alien, Macready and Childs sit across the freezing Antarctic wasteland, unsure if either is infected. As it pans out, the fire flickers out and cuts to black without a resolution to their fate. The bold and unexpected ending captures the paranoia and mistrust of the film; The Thing is such an institution in horror and a story that inspires endless speculation.
