What older movies made a good use of either side stepping special effects or have effects that somehow still hold up today? Why are they good movies?

    Two out of these three are movies I keep coming back to.

    Welp, guess I can’t avoid the Thing for much longer. Unless, of course, I can.

    I’m not much for horror. But, it’s also sci-fi. I’m torn.

    On a scale of 0 to Event Horizon and Alien (1979), I assume the Thing is beyond even these.

      I love Event Horizon, but I don’t put it quite on the same shelf as Alien and The Thing. It’s “A” tier against “S” tier for me. But they are all what I’d consider sci-fi horror. If you like those two, pull the trigger and watch Carpenter’s masterpiece.
