Personally, Last shift (2014).

Not meant movies get under my skin but that one really did.

That one scene from The Thing makes me jump every single time, it's a masterclass in tension and making you instantly poo a little bit

Yes, the scene in the 80s version of The Thing where they're all tied next to each other is mind-blowing (and I guess poop-inducing too). I imagine that's the one you're talking about.

Any idea on if the remake of The Thing was any good? I watched the original 80s version last year and loved it. Also, I read somewhere that Quinton Tarantino's Hateful Eight was loosely based on The Thing, and after rewatching that I can see it.

Wait, I'm pretty sure the 80s The Thing was a remake of a movie from the 50s? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044121/

As far as I know it wasn't an original. So the 2000s one would be a remake of a remake. Remake squared?

The Thing from the 2000s is a prequel. It could be mistaken for being a remake because the plot mirrors the original in a lot of ways, but it happens before the 80s version. It's not bad, but it's not better than the original, it doesn't add much either, but it isn't bad. Additionally, the 80s version is actually a remake.

Influenced by. It's splitting hairs, I know. But the idea of a group of people trapped together that can't trust each other is ridiculously fertile ground that I'm surprised more people haven't farmed.

To answer your question, the remake of The Thing was fine. Not good. Not bad. It's fine. I wouldn't turn it off if it were on but I wouldn't go seeking it out.

If you haven't seen this 2020 series, do not look up any info or spoilers, just watch it.

I can't really remember the remake. But the original was burned into my brain so I think that is a review in itself?
