directed by John Carpenter
featuring Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley, T.K. Carter, David Clennon, Keith David

John Carpenter's The Thing is both a remake of Howard Hawks' 1951 film of the same name and a re-adaptation of the John W. Campbell Jr. story "Who Goes There?" on which it was based.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) more movies like this

directed by Don Siegel
featuring Kevin McCarthy, Dana Wynter, Larry Gates, King Donovan, Carolyn Jones

It can be read as a political metaphor or enjoyed as a fine low-budget suspense movie, and it works well either way. Kevin McCarthy stars as Miles Bennel, a doctor in the small ...
