Review of The Thing (2011) by Twins S — 28 Nov 2012
Its a pretty standard film..more so over it fails to bring in the chill and tension of the John carpenter's original remake of the THING..
This new film was pretty disappointing but we do appreciated some moments in the film..especially a great morphosys scene of the thing where we see it transforming into that 2faced monster figure that was ubiquitous on the VHS covers of John Carpenter's the Thing, but that we never saw in the movie...
ALLERT SPOILER....
The great idea of the filmaker however is that he ended the movie with a remade beginning of John Carpenters film, making this new The Thing a prequel to the john Carpenter's 80 remake..
It was a touch of class that put out raiting a bit above..
We truly understand that the director must be a fan of the original but it did not do a great justice to it.
