This is the Carpenter masterpiece. One of the finest crafted sci-fi horror classics that outdid the original. The whole storyline is a metaphor for the decline of our civilization.
The coolest and scariest thing ( I thought ) in the prequel was they showed you how the two headed deformed body came about. I shit my pants at the theatre when that happened. LMAO
@IInContext yes the 2011 The Thing is the prequel to John Carpenter's The Thing. Actually you could play this one right after the prequel and it would flow right together.
WOW CGI this, CGI That, these days they could say it was a costume and you couldn't tell the difference but yet as soon as someone hears CGI, I hate it, it looks bad and so unreal and what happened to makeup artists, blah blah blah. When done right there is nothing wrong with CGI and gives producers and directors more options so I am happy it is here. Blah Blah Blah, no one says Why they don't like it, just because they think it sucks for their own personal reasons and not any actual facts!W/E
@bigballa6336 "just because they think it sucks for their own personal reasons and not any actual facts!W/E"
There is nothing factual about opinions on CGI, either you like the look, or you don't. I just happen to think that, if they were going to do a prequel to my favorite movie, they should've stuck to what made the first one very convincing, very well done practical effects. As a Prequel to this film, The Thing 2011 kinda sucked, but as a movie alone, it was alright however.
The prequel has a different feel to John Carpenter's classic.It's more about shock burst-outs and a faster pace. If you watch the prequel and the 1982 movie back-to-back it really works except for some minor continuity inconsistancies.
Yes we know this is a masterpiece, but John would've used CGI for the creature effects had the tools been available in 1982, and that's a fact. In fact, all the main blockbusters of the 80s would have; the last 2 Star Wars, Ghostbusters,the Back To the Future trilogy, ET etc...
@56postoffice yep and they would have made a bloody mess.... considering even with state of the art techonology each time CGI is used for something living they botch it up: star wars,indy 4 (freaking lucasart ) etc... It's all about illusion and CGI breaks the illusion every time so I hate it. Give me frank oz and its puppets any time....
The next time you listen to someone argue that there's no reason for a hunter to have a machine gun, show them the opening sequence of this movie. Then they'll say, "I'm sorry. I didn't know. I just...didn't know."
if they had just let the norwegian shoot the dog rather than shoot him in the fucking head, none of this shit would have happened. Dumbass scientists.
@AliceNchainz011 What are the odds of two completely insane people getting on a helicopter in the middle of antartica right before the onset of winter hunting a dog they were obviously very worried about? The british scientists' first rational reaction should have been to believe the humans before the dog and gotten away from it.
@mrzack888 Hell yeah they need to, i just got done watching the 2011 prequel and the block of ice that the thing was incased in, you find in the game.
4 the people who don't know this this thing happened after the new one bcuz the new one ends w/ lars chasing after the dog in a russian helicopter and this one starts w/ lars chasing after the dog in the helicopter
The Thing and Holloween are two of the best horror movies of all time and are masterpieces, no shock they were both directed by the best horror director of all time.
@SallyNightmare18 You obviously aren't watching this movie close enough or you are just plain stupid! The dog needed to be killed since it was an alien! DUR DUR!!!!!
Damn. If there is something this movie taught me is that if a norwegian guy is chasing and shooting a husky, you should be aware of alien infestation.
Wonder why was it not obvious to the american group...
I fucking love this movie. if you watch around @ 9:05 people are fucking falling all over the place, hahahaa. It happens again when Bennings is changing and they all run after him when he runs outside to burn him. Funny shit
I saw Wilford Brimley on LLS with Craig Ferguson, and I thought "wait a minute - he looks familiar". Took me a while to access that particular memory in my brain.
I watched the 2011 version and although it was not as good as the original it was still very good, i think a lot of people say its not good because they think its the fashionable think to say about any remake, just a bunch of armchair critics that cant even critique properly any way because they cant explain what they dont like about the 2011 version so just regurgitate the same old shit about not making a remake or sequels or prequels to a classic me personally i liked both of them.
@Robodisco What I didn't like about the prequel is that the Thing (which we know for sure is highly intelligent) acts like a moron, which it doesn't do in the original. I also found the teams actions kinda odd, especially in comparison to the original, but sadly I can't remember any details about their behaviour, just the Thing's.
@Robodisco I enojyed it. One of the best remakes out there. The only thing that I didn't like was the choise of actors, The girl and her friend that went there together shouldn't be in this movie. The girl is a typical actor who can show emotions but not really anymore, no depth to it, a typical school actor. Same for the guy. The others were perfect.
@Robodisco I just don't see the point in remaking perfection. And there is no story possible in a prequel to the thing : for the actual movie "the thing" to be possible we know all the norvegians died , we know the thing survived and considering this we don't care much about the process either because we know it's going to be about survival and paranioa....
@georgetapadbol Thanks For the obvious, just because we knew what happened doesn't mean we don't want to see it. The prequel was good and it was cool watching it morph bodies, it looked good and the only people who don't think so were already saying this movie sucked BEFORE it came out. Always keep an open mind my friend. Makes life more enjoyable.
@georgetapadbol I will give the actors were much better in this movie and I have to say acting is not as good as some older movies but comes with the times.
@Robodisco the new one is not a remake, it's a prequel :) so not much room for criticism from this point of view :) If you wait for the credits you will see it ends with the helicopter chasing the dog. :)
I read the scrypt for this movie- Appearently, MacReady, one of my all time favorite characters, played with inflatable mannequin while watching Norwegian home video! How fu... was that? What were you thinking Bill Lancaster?
Don't thumb me or anything...Just take a moment and relax and think about how cool you are for knowing about this movie before mostly everyone else apparently.
@redbipolar I think they are giving the 2011 version too little credit, personally I thought it was going to suck, as remakes or relaunches do, but it was quite decent. As you said, the continuity is quite remarkable as well, including the details about the Norwegian base (the ice block with center carved in, the alien remains with two merged faces to name a few)
Yeah, but there's was too little attention paid to the storyline. So we got the details running through to the first film, but the story sucked. Also, it wasn't as suspenseful. Example: Why would the main actress follow someone whom could be the thing into a storage room alone? It wasn't realistic. Too many special effects, and not enough paid to the plot, and how to develop the story to maximize its scare factor.
@Nonpeon Indeed...she knew all the way that he was an alien, yet she chose not to do anything about it and then kill him in the end in a very suspenseful way? Yeah right...Also, there was footage of the Norwegians blowing up the alien spacecraft using thermite..what happened to that scene then? why are directors like little kids, full of inconsistency?
@panostsak why people don't pay attention and then come raging about the movie? In the last scene before bothe leave the vehicle the camera show the earing on the left ear of him, when they come back running, because everything was exploding and the adrenaline rushing that she notices that he didn't had the earing anymore, so he was copied when was inside the ship.
@panostsak You heard wrong, go watch the movie again. When they are back to the vehicle, and she is about to enter, she stop when noticed that his left ear lack the earing, and then say that will put the part of flamethrower in the back (what was probably just to give time to set it up). She said "You know, I knew you are human... when you showed back at base?" "no.." "your earing" and than he grab the wrong ear.
@panostsak what you didn't understood? You should watch the movie again and pay attention in both scenes when they are inside the vehicle close the spacecraft.
@Nonpeon realistic? Have you being in the same situation? Do you think that you could have a logic though and don't make any mistakes if you were in a situation that you never was or heard about it?
I was watching this at home the other day and noticed Childs hand during the scene when Blair is trashing the COMM room. If you look closely his hand is deformed or not fully formed. He also seems to hide it intentionally, its the part when childs is behind McReady. Pretty wild, never caught this before....
@crazyfool333 yeah i´ve notice that too the first time i saw this movie. I tought it was because of the rarefaction of the air so they had to keep a high speed.
So sad to read that most of the watchers even don't know the Thing from 1982 and they were able to know about this movie after watching the Thing 2011.
I can`t watch the Thing 2011. I was waiting until I had enough time this week and suddenly NO movie theatres has The Thing on any more. WTF! It was only on for a week! Ok so it`s Christmas time and people don`t want to watch some horrific monster eating them, but I thought it would be on longer.
Now i`m gonna have to wait for the DVD release... :(
The shooter is not retarded!! Dont you see the Dog is The Thing! Its shapeshifter! (i think) By the way if you speak norwegian like me you would unerstand what the "retard"" guy was saying.
@myleftearful Oh, fuck you! Why are there so many pretentious movie snobs on here that think every modern horror movie is bad? I'm a teenager, and yes, I think 'Saw' is a great movie. It's an original and clever crime/horror/thriller that is far from just blood and guts. Some of the sequels weren't great, but they are still a hell of a lot better than half the overrated garbage from the 70's/80's.
i agree, but their IS something about the classic horror movies that have something extra 2 it..maybe it was because back then it was the rise of horror movies, in which people loved them more than they do now just because it was something new..now its just the same thing..with alot more sex involved lol
@MEareCAT I agree, the first Saw is pretty decent, it's just everything after that is pure garbage. Most classic horror films have better scores and may be scarier, but they also have their flaws as well.
The only thing that tees me off a bit is that my husband didn't understand where the prequel was heading. I tried to explain to him that this is how the original began and all he could say was, "Well...uhhh, I like never caught it from the beginning and stuff...uhhhhh....I always caught it somewhere in the middle". WHAT KIND OF UNDERPRIVILEGED LIFE have you been leading?! And he's a nerd too!!! WTF? Luckily for him, his mother appreciated the continuity.We're girl nerds like that. ;)
The dog handler must have been awesome. I LOVE the way they make the Husky or whatever to appear so intelligent in the beginning. How he pauses, stops, looks back, and basically LURES the chopper to the American base. Nice. :)
That dog is more intelligent than the shooter and the guy manning the choppa.
Btw, I watched the Prequel this wekeend and I loved how the two parts connect with each other.

As you said, the continuity is quite remarkable as well, including the details about the Norwegian base (the ice block with center carved in, the alien remains with two merged faces to name a few)

@kkksskkk
Yeah, but there's was too little attention paid to the storyline. So we got the details running through to the first film, but the story sucked. Also, it wasn't as suspenseful. Example: Why would the main actress follow someone whom could be the thing into a storage room alone? It wasn't realistic. Too many special effects, and not enough paid to the plot, and how to develop the story to maximize its scare factor.

@Nonpeon Indeed...she knew all the way that he was an alien, yet she chose not to do anything about it and then kill him in the end in a very suspenseful way? Yeah right...Also, there was footage of the Norwegians blowing up the alien spacecraft using thermite..what happened to that scene then? why are directors like little kids, full of inconsistency?

@panostsak why people don't pay attention and then come raging about the movie? In the last scene before bothe leave the vehicle the camera show the earing on the left ear of him, when they come back running, because everything was exploding and the adrenaline rushing that she notices that he didn't had the earing anymore, so he was copied when was inside the ship.

@Shaidon7 She specificaly said that she knew he wasn't human ever since he returned to the base (after the helicopter crash).

@panostsak You heard wrong, go watch the movie again. When they are back to the vehicle, and she is about to enter, she stop when noticed that his left ear lack the earing, and then say that will put the part of flamethrower in the back (what was probably just to give time to set it up). She said "You know, I knew you are human... when you showed back at base?" "no.." "your earing" and than he grab the wrong ear.

@panostsak what you didn't understood? You should watch the movie again and pay attention in both scenes when they are inside the vehicle close the spacecraft.

@Nonpeon realistic? Have you being in the same situation? Do you think that you could have a logic though and don't make any mistakes if you were in a situation that you never was or heard about it?

I was watching this at home the other day and noticed Childs hand during the scene when Blair is trashing the COMM room. If you look closely his hand is deformed or not fully formed. He also seems to hide it intentionally, its the part when childs is behind McReady. Pretty wild, never caught this before....

@ZXCX2 Actually it's because Keith David broke his hand in a car accident before. He wore a cast but had to hide it through the entire film.

@crazyfool333 yeah i´ve notice that too the first time i saw this movie. I tought it was because of the rarefaction of the air so they had to keep a high speed.

Simply one of the greatest horror films ever made. The effects today paled in comparison as of the 80's.

I can`t watch the Thing 2011. I was waiting until I had enough time this week and suddenly NO movie theatres has The Thing on any more. WTF! It was only on for a week! Ok so it`s Christmas time and people don`t want to watch some horrific monster eating them, but I thought it would be on longer.
Now i`m gonna have to wait for the DVD release... :(

A proper horror film. Billions of teenagers who think 'Saw' is a horror movie might do well to watch this classic

@myleftearful Oh, fuck you! Why are there so many pretentious movie snobs on here that think every modern horror movie is bad? I'm a teenager, and yes, I think 'Saw' is a great movie. It's an original and clever crime/horror/thriller that is far from just blood and guts. Some of the sequels weren't great, but they are still a hell of a lot better than half the overrated garbage from the 70's/80's.

@MEareCAT
i agree, but their IS something about the classic horror movies that have something extra 2 it..maybe it was because back then it was the rise of horror movies, in which people loved them more than they do now just because it was something new..now its just the same thing..with alot more sex involved lol
slayerT75 1 month ago in playlist The Thing 1982 Film
@MEareCAT I agree, the first Saw is pretty decent, it's just everything after that is pure garbage. Most classic horror films have better scores and may be scarier, but they also have their flaws as well.

The only thing that tees me off a bit is that my husband didn't understand where the prequel was heading. I tried to explain to him that this is how the original began and all he could say was, "Well...uhhh, I like never caught it from the beginning and stuff...uhhhhh....I always caught it somewhere in the middle". WHAT KIND OF UNDERPRIVILEGED LIFE have you been leading?! And he's a nerd too!!! WTF? Luckily for him, his mother appreciated the continuity.We're girl nerds like that. ;)

The dog handler must have been awesome. I LOVE the way they make the Husky or whatever to appear so intelligent in the beginning. How he pauses, stops, looks back, and basically LURES the chopper to the American base. Nice. :)
