although not officially listed in the credits, it is reported that "the thing" was directed by howard hawks. there is no denying the dialogue, pacing, suspense and that whole claustrophobic arctic base was beautifully crafted. and the scenes where the men join hands and circle the flying saucer trapped in the ice, or where the monster is fighting it out with the sled dogs, still give me goosebumps. it goes to show you don't need big bucks, big stars, or special effects to tell a good story if you know what you're doing.
