: The Thing
I loved the original so I couldn’t figure out the point of this remake and didn’t bother with it in the theatre, but it turns out it’s really pretty good. The special effects are far more gruesome and over-the-top, and that’s not a compliment as they distract from the core story which is about paranoia. Still, the performances are good, and it seemed faithful to the original in the basic story. Not a necessary movie by any stretch, and the original’s still better, but not that bad.
