Review of The Thing (2011)

By Leigh Paatsch (1,103) for Herald Sun (Australia) (1,081) on 12 Oct 2011

Aside from the fine anchoring work taken on by Winstead and Edgerton, the standout aspect of The Thing is its wide array of forcefully frightening…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Margaret Pomeranz (380) for At the Movies (Australia) (716) on 12 Oct 2011

There was not very much subtlety at all. I thought those fine Scandinavian actors looked distinctly uncomfortable and it wasn't because of the Thing…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Jimmyo (378) for JoBlo's Movie Emporium (1,959) on 12 Oct 2011

This modern take on THE THING still conjures up much of what made John Carpenter's classic stand out…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Rob Nelson (320) for Variety (12,700) on 12 Oct 2011

Far less chilling than versions from 1951 and 1982, Universal's latest take on The Thing at least has a strong lead thesp in Mary Elizabeth…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Matt Pais (1,519) for RedEye (906) on 12 Oct 2011

[Winstead] explains what the alien can do so many times it's surprising the monster doesn't speak up and say, 'They get it…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 12 Oct 2011

You can tell a lot about the film from its rough handling of the materials supplied by its predecessor, using these commonalities both to identify…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Soren Anderson (264) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 12 Oct 2011

It's a series of Boo! moments that add up to less and less as director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. piles on more and more of them…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Andrew O'hehir (1,324) for Salon.com (2,725) on 12 Oct 2011

I'm delighted to tell you that the new Thing was made by people who understand what the horror audience wants and don't treat it like a bunch…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Todd Mccarthy (1,810) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 12 Oct 2011

Heijningen doesn't display the instinct of the best Hollywood action directors to give the audience what it craves at the big moments, except…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Matthew Toomey (680) for ABC Radio Brisbane (680) on 12 Oct 2011

What elevates this above your average thriller is the rational manner in which the characters act…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Drew Mcweeny (622) for HitFix (861) on 12 Oct 2011

Carpenter's film is scary. This film is just loud…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Josh Bell (1,421) for Las Vegas Weekly (1,340) on 12 Oct 2011

Feels a little redundant and predetermined, but its respectful tone and efficient professionalism place it at a higher level than most horror remakes…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 11 Oct 2011

While this version, listed as a prequel, has a few gross-out moments, it lacks any sense of warmth…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 11 Oct 2011

This version of The Thing, directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr., provides such graphic and detailed views of the creature that we are essentially…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Emanuel Levy (2,948) for EmanuelLevy.Com (2,771) on 11 Oct 2011

This prequel to Carpenter film deserves some credit for trying to update the 1982 classic with new ideas, but ultimately it's disappointing…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Edward Douglas (1,395) for ShockTillYouDrop.com (47) on 11 Oct 2011

Van Heijningen does a fine job recreating the look and tone of Carpenter's film, and there's enough alien-infested craziness to keep this prequel…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Heather Wixson (312) for Dread Central (388) on 11 Oct 2011

At the end of the day, The Thing is a rather average movie that does enjoy a few moments of greatness but ultimately leaves no lasting impression…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Jim Vejvoda (203) for IGN Movies (1,472) on 11 Oct 2011

This incarnation of The Thing is much like the creature it depicts: An insidious, defective mimic of the real, er, thing…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Brad Miska (152) for Bloody Disgusting (327) on 11 Oct 2011

Everything that was great about the 1982 version is ignored in this 2011 crap that's nothing more than a boring CGI promo-reel…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By James Rocchi (1,075) for Boxoffice Magazine (2,896) on 11 Oct 2011

Offers audiences a similar-but-not-the-same mix of effects, existentialism and creepy body horror while forgetting the things like character,…
