Review of The Thing (2011) by Nicholas S — 02 Dec 2012
As a fan of John Carpenter's 1982 movie, I had to see this remake/prequel and I found it more of a remake than a prequel. There was no suspense and it felt like they were rushing through the story just to get to the link to Carpenter's movie at the end.
Also they fell into the usual trap of showing the creature way too much and this is just because they have the CGI effects to do it now but I felt in doing so, it took away the fear factor in the movie.
It just wasn't scary and overall it was a very average movie.
