THE THING has maybe the greatest open ending in cinema of all time?

Oh yes. Much more about the disintegration of the body than The Thing.
Then again, the autopsy scene is perhaps the greatest body horror scene outside of Cronenberg.

I mean, it is, but The Fly is entirely built around body horror.

This is like trying to figure out if Bowie or Prince was weirder. Both super weird, different ways. Also, both genius.
