Review of The Thing (2011) by Jailhouse_Mcgee — 20 Dec 2012

This is the kind of movie that mistakes grotesque splatter scenes with real horror and a haunting atmosphere. It painfully misses Carpenters art of creating high tension just by the characters interacting.

And speaking of characters, most are underdeveloped and look alike, so there is no point caring about them as they are consumed one by one. The special effects are now CGI, but the original effects are still better, because they are more organic.

This movie had high potential, but it's just a big bomb nobody will care about in less than a few years.
