One of the finest science fiction films ever made, and one of the scariest. All kinds of clues are scattered throughout the film to indicate who is compromised. If you like detective/murder/crime shows, you can treat The Thing as one, but you're not going to spot them unless you're really good, or look up some of the clue online, or watch it more than once. The attention to detail is amazing, and it's there to give you clues as to who might be compromised, but you have to note every detail of who is missing from any scene, doorways, etc. 39 years later and I'm still finding new clues and angles I missed previously. Despite being from 1982, the FX still hold up pretty well. I suggest watching the circa 1972 Horror Express with this, since there are some real parallels.
