It's a classic Molly, but nowhere near as good as the remake by John Carpenter aka "The thing". The 1951 version kept a lot of the stuff from John W Campbells 'who goes there' book out (both stories are based on this novel). The original is a monster movie, the remake focuses more on the psychology of it all - man trusting man, and so on and so forth. One of my favourite films to be honest.
That reminds me, I meant to get a copy of The wolfman and Dracula on DVD from JB hifi today, doh! And I still need to get a copy of Metropolis too. And the original Hunchback of Notre Dame. I like classic movies!

edit: corrected date of release of film from 1954 to 1951!
