The Thing prequel isn't an awful film but it does look as such compared to the near perfect John Carpenter remake. ****SPOLER ALERT****.

The reason the thing (JC remake) was so tense was that it used guile and deception to intercept people on their own, wouldn't make any mistakes and you genuinely had no idea who was human and who wasn't. In this film on 3 or 4 occasions the thing actually attacks in plain sight of other people which goes against the original (JC remake). The main reason I am marking it as a 5 is because the graphics were quite shoddy, they copied quite a lot from the original (standing in a ring around the 1st burnt team member discussing wh,o or what ,they are against and that some may not be human) and it also left a MASSIVE plot hole in the end.
