The Thing(dir. John Carpenter)
First movie by him that I've seen. I feel like a dumbass for calling myself a film buff without seeing any of his movies beforehand, but here I am. It's mildly scary but totally awesome. It seemed to drag with them just basically freaking out when there were no signs of "the thing," but once "the thing" finally shows itself again, you easily forgive it. While the ending isn't as satisfyingly haunting as one would like, it's still a good conclusion to the narrative. I will most likely check out Halloween, Escape From New York, or Assault on Precinct 13 next. I highly recommend.
