Doing my yearly rewatch of The Thing and one of my favorite elements is the last act. It makes plain something that's been true for most of the film, that it's doing monster movie in reverse. It's the creature that is the one hiding, the one being stalked and cornered, the one being hunted.

That's enough Death of the Author. It's time for Death of the Audience. Start running fools
