Reply To: FSM # 18: What is the film you’ve seen the most times?
The Thing (1982)*
I found The Thing not so suitable for a rewatch. Because a lot of the tension is lost when you know what is going to happen.
Some movies really live from the tension that anything can happen at every moment. When you already know that in a certain scene nothing surprising is going to happen it can suddenly be quite boring.
That is how I felt in many scenes at rewatching The Thing.
Still a great movie. Probably Carpenter’s best.
