Review of The Thing (2011) by Mikale — 17 Oct 2011
Absolutely worth watching for the creature effects, an amazing mix of puppets and cg making for a truly worthy updated imagining of John Carpenter's Thing creature.
As for the story, I found it enjoyable but lean and think it really struggled at the end. Not at all bad but somewhat familiar territory.
So in the end mostly a SFX driven film but if you're new to the Thing then you'll likely get the most out of this.
