Why watch this film?
With the right balance of action and humor, this one is a great example from the 1980s John Carpenter filmography, taking directly from the source of B-movies kung fu.

The Thing
Uncomfortable, disgusting, cold, paranoid. These are just some of the adjectives that can characterize this masterpiece by John Carpenter ('Christine, the Car Killer') and yet it still won't be enough to do justice to what this movie conveys on the screens. After all, through a story full of twists and turns, the viewer is faced with a terrifying possibility: that of aliens passing themselves off as humans, colleagues, friends. Here, in 'The Thing', we are the means of transport for these extraterrestrial creatures. How to fight them? There are several dilemmas that Carpenter puts into the plot, intensified by a suffocating performance by Kurt Russell ('Trail of Evil') and the intense and disturbing soundtrack by Ennio Morricone ('The Untouchables'). Then, at the end, when the credits roll, it's impossible not to think: what if they're already among us?
Halloween
Despite the success of movies like 'Friday the 13th' and 'A Nightmare on Elm Street', perhaps there is no slasher horror more iconic and memorable than 'Halloween'. Directed by the great John Carpenter, of 'The Thing', the feature film creates one of the most iconic and feared movie killers in the figure of Michael Myers - which makes a perfect contrast to Jamie Lee Curtis's character and her famous screams. It's a serial killer movie that changed the way crimes are portrayed on the big screen, with an even more accentuated coldness and a disturbing atmosphere. Here, in addition to Myers's own visuals, highlight the historic soundtrack, to the sound of a sharp piano, which seems to accompany the chill that goes down your spine as Myers goes looking for his next victim.
