Both films deal a lot or mainly with isolation in a remote part with no real chance of escaping what they're being chased by. In that aspect I think I'm going to have to choose The Thing slightly over Alien due to it being a bit more grotesque and shocking. Alien I feel has a more streamlined story which I like but besides Weaver and John Hurt the acting could have been a bit better. I'm also privy to Kurt Russel's wonderful beard and it ****ing has Wilfred Brimley in a memorable role. As briefly as I can put it The Thing just left a better impression on me and I love going back to it when I need a good sci fi/horror film.
The Thing - 3
Alien - 0
