As a child I watched this movie,over,and over and over,and over,and over. I know realize why... I was completely fascinated with Pippi Longstocking,and her witty fun loving behaviour.This movie shall forever have a special place in my heart.It is always so good to see just how childhood favorites from the past bring back the good memories from long ago...This movie is great for the family, and those who love the famous fictional character Pippi Longstocking.
This black and white sci-fi is a 'classic' amongst many others.With an absolute wonderful collaboration of action,a interesting plot,scientific connections,and most importantly suspense this movie does not fail to excite the senses.I throughly enjoyed the fact that direct conflict the 'thing' was used briefly throughout the whole of the movie.This is because the intense uncertainty felt as I waited to see when he would wreak havoc next.The only thing that lacked throughout the movie was FX.What this movie lacks in 'looks' it gains in a well thought up plot which has inspired many other sci-fi films.The thing from another planet is great for those who want a sense of anxiety, suspense,and much more for an hour and a half of good movie!
In my opinion it didn't match up to all the hype it had got.From word of mouth, many said this movie was full of sadistic, and twisted ideals etc.What I saw was a mediocre plot line and a tad bit of cheesy acting from some C list actors... Don't get me wrong, I like horror movies and all but this one just didn't float my boat :P I want me some more gore!!!
