Events › Island Film Group: The Thing (1982)

The Island Film Group meets on the second Wednesday of the month (but not this month!) to watch a movie followed by an informal discussion. Join us this month for arguably one of the best remakes of all time which was critically maligned at time of release but has since emerged as a cinematic masterpiece. 

The Thing (1982). R, 109 mins.

Directed by John Carpenter

Starring Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley, Keith David, Richard Masur 

A team of scientists on a research station in Antarctica are alerted to strange happenings at a nearby camp, which soon leads to a discovery that will change them, quite literally, forever.
