The remake was truer to the story. But the original was true to the times. In terms of dialogue, music (music!!) and suspense, the original was awesome. Could be the best scifi ever made.

[cinematedman]

True! I do like the remake, but it's a totally different tone. I don't mean the obvious differences of alien, I mean the men. The Carp version has basically all losers. The Hawks version has regular joes and scientists. The military is not the hero nor the villian. It's real. Carp's ver. has the only authority figure as a bumbler. The hero is a rebel. Both products of their times. I wrote a review at IMDB under 'humbleradio'. Check it out. Let me know what ya think.

This was the first Sci Fi scare the crap out of you, movie I ever saw. I was about 6 years old in 1952 when I saw this movie. Great stuff. The guy doesn't mention that James Arness played the monster.

[cinematedman]

Yeah, good point. But I figured most folks knew that Gunsmoke's Matt Dillon played the 'thing' so I didn't mention it. Arness is also in THEM! and there I do make a mention to his role here. As you know, these films have reams of trivia associated with them. For me, I try very hard not to spoil the effect of the film with too much of that yet still get folks in the mood. IMHO, many people spoil films for themselves with that stuff. I still regret having scene the making of Casablanca doc.

@cinematedman

NOT a remake, 1982s movie is an adaptation of the novella that inspired the 1951 version called "Who Goes There" and 1982's movie is THE definitive adaptation of the story unlike this butchery because they didn't have the technology in the 50's as instead of a shapeshifter from the story it was a dumbed down killer carrot monster and the characters weren't in this movie

@steffidude

Not a remake, 1982's movie is a re-adaptation of John Campbell's novella "Who Goes There" ever read it? this movie is just a poor butchery of that novella

@MikeAM78

Have you ever read the original story that inspired this film and the 1982 version "Who Goes There" by John Campbell?

Man the coffee looks damn good. I stated watching this video clip almost one year ago as a way of escapement from my boring slave job. I would watch this in the morning before leaving for work. While watching this video I imagined myself in this nice cozy room staying warm from the blizzard out side. Lots of good hot coffee too. It helped me to deal with reality.

If you think Thing From Another World is rubbish you must be very young, shallow, and stupid.

A Frankenstein type remake? WTF that's a retarded comparison.

[bunkman64]

Not one mention of James Arness as "The THING"? Come on man..you ought to be ashamed.
