Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

The Thing (out Oct 13) is good value for a thriller. A group of scientists travel to a remote part of Norway and find something buried deep in the ice. The story is suspenseful, the characters act rationally, and the "thing" looks very freaky (thanks to great special effects). Grade: B+.
