It was two years ago, almost to the day, that Tori and Toy recorded their Reaction to The Thing. The movie affected them a lot and is still one of their favorite reaction videos.
Ever since Abby joined the channel, folks have been recommending that she record a The Thing Movie Reaction. Just like Tori and Toy, she ended up quite affected by the film and the result is a spectacular reaction video.

The Thing (1982) is a science fiction horror film directed by John Carpenter, starring Kurt Russell as R.J. MacReady, the helicopter pilot of a remote research station in Antarctica. The story begins when the team encounters a mysterious alien lifeform that can perfectly imitate other organisms. After a Norwegian team nearby is decimated by the creature, the Americans bring the alien back to their base, unknowingly unleashing a shape-shifting horror. As paranoia spreads and trust breaks down, the group must determine who among them is still human before the creature kills them all.
The film explores themes of isolation, mistrust, and survival. The remote Antarctic setting amplifies the tension, creating a claustrophobic atmosphere where the characters are cut off from the outside world. The alien’s ability to mimic its victims adds an element of psychological terror, as no one can be sure who is still themselves. MacReady emerges as a reluctant leader, trying to maintain order and find a way to destroy the creature before it escapes to infect the rest of the world.
The Thing was initially met with mixed reviews but later gained recognition as a classic of the horror and sci-fi genres. Its groundbreaking practical effects, including grotesque transformations and alien designs, were highly influential and remain iconic. The film’s tense atmosphere, complex characters, and exploration of human fear and paranoia have earned it a devoted fanbase, cementing its reputation as one of John Carpenter’s finest works and a masterpiece of suspenseful storytelling.
