We’re finishing up our horror series with a movie Macintosh has had on his list for a long time, while Maud has mostly been indifferent. But this isn’t a movie that warrants a medium opinion. Critics at the time considered this one of the worst horror movies ever made; nearly 40 years later, it’s become a horror classic and even on some people’s lists for one of the best movies ever made. Leave it to us to feel very differently about this movie. It’s a benchmark of movie-making, for sure, but is it truly great cinema? Get your flamethrower ready as we finish off our spooky season with 1982’s The Thing on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!
