@bob_zim @dramypsyd Oh please tell me more about The Thing's social experiments?

@ike @dramypsyd It’s not intentional experimentation inside the movie, but the result is similar: isolate people, apply severe stress, and show who they really are. In The Thing, this was done by Lancaster and Carpenter (writer and director). In Saw, it’s moved into the framing. Like the difference between a narrator who isn’t a character, and a character narrating the movie as if telling the story after the fact.
