Underwhelming, less would have been better/scarier as the special effects just took me out.
Great concept though, similar movies?
Only the last monster appearance looked like shit.
>>80485895
It's not a horror, it's a thriller. It's probably my favorite movie of all time but at no point was I ever scared or felt like it was a horror despite what people say
>>80485936
They show too much throughout, enough to be reminded it's fake.
1978 body snatchers
The effects are what give this movie an identity. Learn to immerse yourself and enjoy a movie. You little shithead
>>80485971
Same. This movie just has an atmosphere to it that I love and can always rewatch
>>80487256
>immerse yourself
no the effects weren't good enough to convince me that what was happening on screen was real.
Alien got it right.
>>80485971
yeah i'm rating it as a horror which I thought it was intended to be, the character interactions and overall atmosphere were great.
>>80485895
>it's not a cgi shitfest so it's bad
Those practical effects were fucking incredible, especially for 1982 and even more especially because they were done by one 22 year old. Go fuck yourself you little shitehawk.
>>80487386
It's a monster movie you dick, you can't have a monster movie with no monster
Go watch unfriendes you pleb, looks right up your alley. No practical effects at all
>>80485975
lol no man its real dude
>>80487386
Babby's first manster mash
>>80487386
Shoot yourself fag. Effects are GOAT.
>>80485895
Those tentacles coming out of the dog monster at the start scarred me as a kid. It was the most horrific thing I had even seen
>it's another episode when OP continues being a faggot
>>80485895
just go watch "it plebs" that seems more your speed or better yet babadookie with its hip modern take on horror. You are too young for this movie anyways.
>>80489299
thanks, looks better than this

If you wanna watch it
>>80490264
Is this post satire?
>>80490330
No. I thought some people might want to watch it. If you have a problem with it I'd be happy to smash you m8
>>80485895
Never seen it. Is it good? Is OP a faggot?
>>80490547
Yes and yes
>>80490547
OP is obviously a faggot
>Never seen it. Is it good?
And so are you, underage newshit

Better if you had said it was satire
>>80490547
it was good, just not scary and the effects are often poor at times.
>>80490547
it's ok. /tv/ thinks it's some horrorkino but it's pretty tame and dated now. Still, ok story though.
>>80490683
I don't see the problem. You shouldn't be so uptight its not healthy
>>80490964
Of course you don't. Go back
>>80491061
No worries. Take care
>>80490719
>>80490792
But thankfully, nu-/tv/ is here to correct the record
>>80487386
The thing is I can't disagree with anything you have said because its all true
but yet I am perturbed and I desperately wish to remind you the movie was made in the 80s
I unironically endorse this flick. It was memorable enough to get a reference in a Kevin Smith movie, I forget which one.
>>80491227
a product of it's time? i was expecting more
>>80491253
jay and silent blob strike back
Alien or The Thing, /tv/?
>>80491564
Maybe because I saw aliens and (I think) the thing before alien, I never understood the big deal about it.
>>80491564
Alien is better made. The Thing is a better movie
>>80491564
I got more enjoyment out of The Thing, but I think the Alien is far better made, barring the special effect work gone into The Thing.
>>80491511
That's right. Jay sees Affleck and shouts about how great he was in 'Phantoms.'
>>80491564
Phantoms
>>80485895
It's Kino. What the fuck are you smoking.
>>80491564

>John Carpenter: Self-proclaimed "Master of Horror"
>not a horror movie because some random sperg on the internet says so
Really nig'd my noggin
>>80485895
must be hard for modern babbies to put things in context. this movie is 35 years old after all.
and well done for finding the shittiest fan made poster too, that fucking dog face is photoshop lasso first attempt hilarity
>>80487386
>Alien got it right.
a dude in a suit
>>80492647
I'm not trying to make it look bad, good movie just not scary for a horror.
>>80493239
The comparison was on how Alien got the horror right.
special effects are one of the least things i'm bothered about
>>80491704
What did Anon mean by this?
