The Thing is another sample more than the genius of Carpenter at the time of recreating oppressive atmosphere and small-scale apocalypse. If The Fog with a mist that simulated a revengeful hell share moments with him beyond Fulci, La Cosa Antarctica becomes the worst representation of the human species. Not only the setting, extremely intelligent, when choosing a site completely from society. That is, in Antarctica is inhospitable terrain, cold and sterile. Like the characters and the narration of the film. The Thing in the audience is skeptical about the characters and the situation there is no one to identify, perhaps with Kurt Russell for the simple reason to be the leader and take charge, but the viewer is not sure who is an alien. Although, after all, what difference is there. So, The Thing becomes unpredictable for each minute that passes, false identities and mutual distrust, the film forces its players to be individualistic and selfish, skeptical colleagues: As the viewer. And a grand finale: The Apocalypse is loosed, and hope, probably, has vanished.
