Having not seen either John Carpenter’s original version or the original original version of The Thing (sorry everybody, I’ve let y’all down), I was free from the judgemental skew of comparison when seeing this remake-reboot-prequel-but-not-really version. Perhaps that worked to my fortune, for I enjoyed what I saw. The film’s cluttered with irritating plot holes and the CGI oscillates between stellar to spotty, and the overabundance of 1D characters serve as lambs for the slaughter, which’ll either work to your benefit or against it. However, the movie thrills effectively, with one horrific moment that’ll stick with me for a while.
WATCHABLE
