Review of The Thing (2011) by Grant S — 08 Sep 2012
I am not a sci fi-horror movie fan and haven't watched the original The Thing, made in 1982 (which is, apparently, a horror classic). However, I found this version quite entertaining. The plot was OK, the CGI was great - very gross and very scary - and the tension was built and maintained well. On the downside, it does fall back on a few horror movie cliches, and some of the twists seem gratuitous.
Good performances by Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton. Decent supporting cast.
