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
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.
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.
