    The Thing.

    Critically panned when it came out, and my favorite horror movie of all time. Of course critics feel differently now, but far after its following grew.

      I’d like to mention Harbinger Down.

      It is made by the practical special effects company originally hired for the 2011 prequel, who were then fired and replaced with a CGI company. They were so disgruntled they made their own off-brand The Thing movie to show off what they got. The plot is kind of meh, but the effects are amazing for fans of The Thing.

      I’ve been watching old classics that I’ve never seen like the shining or predator.

      I couldn’t believe how good The Thing was, just how the story structure developed and the ending giving the perfect existential dread.
