The Thing (1982)

Often mentioned as the ultimate monster movie - that phrase is half right only. It is the ultimate monster in a movie, but the movie itself isn't that great. What starts out to be an intense psychological, albeit gross, thriller, becomes a through way for one monster spectacle to another.

Granted, the monster effects are wonderful - still managing to be incredibly disturbing after all these years, and it did contain an actual moment which shocked. I won't say where, though, but I jumped. Either way, its still pretty intense and the monster is well worth the effort it'll take to find this.
