The Thing

Sigh, this is the third remake out of Movie Land this week – the other two being Footloose and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. In fact, this is the third remake of The Thing: the first one came out in 1951, inspired by the writings of John W. Campbell Jr. then another in 1982. Sometimes original ideas should be left at just that.

So the premise of this story is that a group of researchers find an alien life form preserved in ice in Antarctica. Turns out it can take on anyone’s appearance which makes everyone super paranoid.  The alien goes on a killing frenzy and all we really see is a mesh of claws, teeth, goo and gore.

Rating: 1 outta 5.
