If you loved The Thing, the closest films we have are In the Mouth of Madness (1995), They Look Like People (2016) and Vivarium (2019). All three share The Thing's dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is It Comes at Night (2017).
