Review of The Thing (2011) by Kris_D — 04 Dec 2011

A decent movie. I'm a big fan of carpenter's original and honestly, this comes nowhere near it. The original had a much more tense feel thanks to the atmosphere and music. There was definately some suspense in this one, the gore is nice and it was an entertaining movie.

It contained too many cliché's though. Like the "evil scientist" guy that has no emotions whatsoever, except for what they found. Or the fact that they realize anyone could be the thing, yet they hang out in pairs.

But I honestly enjoyed it and expected worse. It just missed the intense claustrophobic feel the first one had.
