True or False: The Thing(1982) is better than Alien(1979)

[BlackMajik]

When it comes down to these 2 movies most people will probably say Alien but I like The Thing more and I think it's a better movie


Alien was obviously great/legendary too but I just gotta give the edge to The Thing. What y'all think???

True

 

[Monoblock]

IMO yes. The Thing is the greatest horror movie of all time for me. Nothing touches those practical effects.

Oh really

The Thing>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Alien

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

Oh really

I don't even care about the results

The thing is more disgusting but ALIEN is By FAR a superior film...it's not CLOSE...the suspense, acting, buildup, everything is better

What's better street fighter 2 or primal rage?

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Been sick and watched Alien last night as a matter of fact. The set design and just overall world building is something to behold. I give the slight edge to Alien.

What kinda comparison is this?

Anyway u can have your opinion but like I said...I think The Thing is the better movie between the two

False

And I love The Thing. But H.R. Giger da gawd >>>

 

[TheDarceKnight]

I still go with Alien, however, I think The Thing is better than it gets credit for beyond the legendary practical effects. It's underrated as a film. I still don't think it's quite on par with Alien, but I don't think it's more than a slight notch or two below.

 

[BlackMajik]

Next level shyt

 

[Concerned Citizen]

It’s damn True. Everything that Alien did great Thing did it better IMO. Now Aliens v. The Thing is up in the air…

 

[Neuromancer]

IMO yes. The Thing is the greatest horror movie of all time for me. Nothing touches those practical effects.

This and it ain't even close.
