The 1982 version of The Thing is a great horror movie. It's a movie I watch today and think, here's what someone can do without CGI and it's still potent. They released a 'prequel' this weekend which is really just the same movie so the reviewers say. As Mathew Dekinder from Suburban Journals says in his review...
It's actually kind of unfair that this movie has to live up to the expectations of Kurt Russell with a flamethrower because in reality most of life can't live up to Kurt Russell with a flamethrower.
I have low expectations for this film as I would with any 80s remake.
Even if Ridley Scott is behind it, the idea of prequels to Blade Runner and Alien, just make me ill. Just leave the shit alone! I was trying to think, has there even been a good 80s remake? If you know of one let me know.
I hear the new "Footloose" is pretty good. heh
