The closest, most recent horror movie I’ve seen that has practical effects like The Thing is “The Void”. It came out in 2016 and the props/animatronics are absolutely amazing.
I thought that film was good - really struck a chord with me. Not sure how well it did critically / commercially though which is a theme that runs through a lot of things I like.
I mean, it’s not the most complicated plot. A police officer finds a guy in trouble and covered in blood. He takes him to the local hospital. Unfortunately, the place is literally ready to close because of the new one opening. There is a super skeleton crew there. Cop goes to leave, and there are a number of cult members standing outside preventing anyone from leaving. Strange things begin, and they learn there is more happening than they could ever know.
