Cast Of The Swamp Thing 1982

I saw the DVDs for two versions of this movie in a store today and bought them. I have seen every version several times. This is a very interesting movie - interesting enough to have been done three times. It is based on a short science fiction story from the late 1930s. The movie versions came out in 1951, 1982, and 2011. In the first version, and I believe the succeeding versions were more or less the same, a research station in Antarctica discovers a spaceship which has been buried under the ice for a long time and digs it up. They recover the body of the sole occupant. The problem is that when the body thaws, it comes back to life. If we ever do meet extraterrestrial aliens, this is exactly what we want them not to be like. In both versions, the alien species is intelligent, but its intelligence is of a very different nature than ours and they cannot be engaged in any real dialog.
In the first version of the movie, the alien is a humanoid, slightly larger than a man, and probably more intelligent than we are, but completely evil by its basic nature. It can live on mammalian blood as a food source and that is the beginning and the end of its interest in us. It hides out in the snow somewhere and gradually tries to kill the research team one by one and make the station uninhabitable to make the survivors more vulnerable. When I describe it, it sounds a bit formulaic and hokey, but it really wasn't.
In the later two versions, more closely mirroring the short story, the alien is capable of assuming any physical form and even splitting into multiple creatures, and it lives by infecting other beings. When infected, you turn into one of them. It is, as I say, also intelligent in these two later versions, because it will pose as your friend and even engage you in conversation, all in an effort to lure you into a situation in which it can infect you. There is a scene in the 1982 version in which the leader of the researchers ties every other person in a chair and takes a blood same from each. He puts the blood sample from each person in a petri dish and one by one sticks a hot wire into the blood samples. His theory is that this will enable him to tell which of the people are human and which are creature masquerading as human. Everyone who is human will have given a real blood sample. Any blood taken from an incarnation of the creature will simply be the creature masquerading as blood and will flee a hot needle.
This is kind of like the 'Alien' movies in that it concerns extraterrestrials that are intelligent, but in such a way that there can never really be a dialogue. Also, like the 'Alien' movies, it concerns extraterrestrials whose basic nature makes them what we would characterize as evil.
Speculation about what we'll find when, and if, we meet extraterrestrials is something one hears a lot these days, and this is exactly what we don't want them to be like - creatures whose basic nature makes them our adversaries and who even evoke disgust.

John Carpenter's The Thing is both a remake of Howard Hawks' 1951 film of the same name and a re-adaptation of the John W. Campbell Jr. story 'Who Goes There?' on which it was based. Carpenter's film is more faithful to Campbell's story than Hawks' version and also substantially more reliant on special effects, provided in abundance by a team of over 40 technicians, including veteran creature-effects artists Rob Bottin and Stan Winston. The film opens enigmatically with a Siberian Husky running through the Antarctic tundra, chased by two men in a helicopter firing at it from above. Even after the dog finds shelter at an American research outpost, the men in the helicopter (Norwegians from an outpost nearby) land and keep shooting. One of the Norwegians drops a grenade and blows himself and the helicopter to pieces; the other is shot dead in the snow by Garry (Donald Moffat), the American outpost captain. American helicopter pilot MacReady (Kurt Russell, fresh from Carpenter's Escape From New York) and camp doctor Copper (Richard Dysart) fly off to find the Norwegian base and discover some pretty strange goings-on. The base is in ruins, and the only occupants are a man frozen to a chair (having cut his own throat) and the burned remains of what could be one man or several men. In a side room, Copper and MacReady find a coffin-like block of ice from which something has been recently cut. That night at the American base, the Husky changes into the Thing, and the Americans learn first-hand that the creature has the ability to mutate into anything it kills. For the rest of the film the men fight a losing (and very gory) battle against it, never knowing if one of their own dwindling number is the Thing in disguise. Though resurrected as a cult favorite, The Thing failed at the box office during its initial run, possibly because of its release just two weeks after Steven Spielberg's warmly received E.T.The Extra-Terrestrial. Along with Ridley Scott's futuristic Alien, The Thing helped stimulate a new wave of sci-fi horror films in which action and special effects wizardry were often seen as ends in themselves.
