This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin
The movie really just wants to entertain people.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

A dark and interesting horror. Comparisons to the original will lead to disappointment but it was a good horror as a stand alone film. Some scary bits and freaky monster scenes.

I can not believe they remade one of the best horror movies ever made
Jeffrey Burton
This is a very effective, suspenseful, freaky, scary horror movie. I was really blown away by it and am going to watch it again, tomorrow night. There are some eye-popping scenes in it. The movie makers made a HUGE mistake in calling it 'The Thing' which led everyone to believe it was a remake of John Carpenter's 1982 movie. It's NOT. It's a prequel and it would work very well as a 'The Thing' binge showing the movies in tandem. The plot differs enough from Carpenter's that it could've been called any numbers of 'things' and had it's own identity. I'm sure executives were involved in the naming because they can't seem to get enough of shoving remakes down our throats even though audiences have had to endure more than enough of them. This movie had my attention from start to finish and it's one of the stronger horror outings of the new millennium. The acting is all very good and the film captures the air of total paranoia and mistrust. Mary Kate Winstead did a standout job. The creature effects and blended CGI works more often than it doesn't. The movie is also well directed, doesn't rely on many jump scares and keeps you engaged and wondering what's going on and how it will all play out. I refused to even watch this movie for years because the title led me to believe it was remake and by definition would suck. It doesn't and if you want a good scare, check it out.

For those who are not aware, check out The Thing from Another World from 1951. This is the first movie adaptation that I am aware of. Both of the later movies in my opinion are good movies. Who Goes There? is a science fiction novella by John W. Campbell, Jr., written under the pen name Don A. Stuart. It was first published in the August 1938. The novella has been adapted four times as a motion picture: the first in 1951 as The Thing from Another World; the second in 1972 as Horror Express; the third in 1982 as The Thing directed by John Carpenter;[1] and most recently as a prequel to the Carpenter version, also titled The Thing, released in 2011.
