Default The Thing - prequal

My eldest gave me this for farthers day, so i gave it a whirl last night...


Not a patch on Carpenters version, and to be truthful... i couldnt see the point...


It was near as dam the same film with a few variations....

It was almost like watching the carpenter version from another angle.

Anyone else think the same

IMO, it was almost there until the alien appeared and it went downhill from there. Also too many people at the start killed to quickly.

It was originally planned as a re-make, then they went with the prequal, last minute.

The original "The thing from another world" from 1951 is still the best in my opinion.

Dont know about boring, but i know where your comming from, there was nothing new, it didnt really add anything to the latter film.

I was half expecting the couch scene lol, and the CGI walking thing was very poor
