LISTEN UP!!! I so would love to call certain reviewers idiots but will refrain LOL! So FIRST OFF, I've read several reviewers mention "REMAKE"!??? WHAT??? Guys & Gals..THIS IS A PREQUEL! .

. and as most Prequels to a CLASSIC.. DO NOT COMPARE IT TO THE ORIGINAL! I as a HUGE fan of the ORIGINAL, Loved this movie! YES, the CGI does not compare with Good animatronics, but that DID NOT ruin the movie as some have stated! And fans of the original SHOULD LOVE THE TIE-INS to it! Seeing how the Axe got there, the Block of ice removed, the suicide guy, the dog escaping, the 2 headed burned Thing creation, Lars going crazy to stop it and why he gets shot in the originals beginning!.

.. GREAT PREQUEL, Good suspense and some clever twists with the tooth fillings.... WATCH THE ORIGINAL 1ST, then watch this one..THEN WATCH THE ORIGINAL AGAIN RIGHT AFTER, and you will have FULL appreciation for this Prequel!.

... P.S.- The person that said they didnt like that the dog at the end was clearly different! Please go get a life.... REALLY?
