WOW great matchup. I love both films to death and they were equally ground breaking for the time period. I'll have to send my vote the Thing's way. I remember how creepy and mood setting that movie was. John Carpenter always has a way of conveying such depression through the music of his movies and the sense of desperation really put me on the edge of my seat.

Alien is also unbelievable, great matchup Tuna.

The Thing- 1

Alien- 0

Thanks man.

These two have a lot of things in common that I thought would make for a good comparison. As you said, they're both sci-fi classics, they both have a feeling of being confined to an area that's cutoff from any outside human interference and with no place to escape. And of course they have the rapidly increasing distrust among the members of each party as to who is what, and who.... isn't


I'm gonna have think about this one for a bit before voting cause I love them both for different reasons. The Thing is definitely scarier and more of a classic horror, but Alien has an unparalleled sense of atmosphere and the whole first 45-minute setup with them discovering the alien ship and all is just brilliantly paced. Hard to choose, I might rewatch both of them and get back to this.

Thanks for posting my matchup so quick btw Alfred

Great matchup, this is one where I'm actually going to have to watch the movies and have a think on it.
