Review of The Thing (2011) by John C — 27 Jul 2012
Terrific prequel to the 1982 John Carpenter classic and a great homage to the 1951 original. The monster is a bit more aggressive in this one, instead of being more insidious like the 1982 film. Maybe it learned something? The whole, "Who could be the creature among us?" angle is played wonderfully.
What is most impressive is that the film makers didn't try to upgrade the creature with CGI effects, the used the same techniques to make the two films come together almost seamlessly. A must see for any fan of both prior films.
