The CinePearl Take
The Thing is a 2011 Norwegian film that blends monster, slasher and science fiction — expect classic slasher suspense and shocks and big ideas and speculative worlds. Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. directs and the script comes from Eric Heisserer. Paul Braunstein and Stig Henrik Hoff are among the leads. Made in United States, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring Norwegian-language films. Released in 2011, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 99 minutes, it is a comfortable evening's watch.
