The paperwork and some other things are still not ready so I still have a few days left to wait in the hotel. I decided to do something I was told to do and was planning to for a long time but never had the chance: watch The Thing.
It’s really good! The change of focus within a Lovecraftian setting from cosmic horror to personal relationships was quite interesting. We don’t really see much of the organism nor about its background, but in the context of a movie this is probably a wise decision. I also liked the music a lot (by Ennio Morricone).
Apparently the movie was based on a novella, which I’ll try to get a hold of and read next time.
