As of this morning, I ve rummaged through the racks of my DVDs and started to re-run the all-time greats.
Catching up on the all-timers series #1...
John Carpenter's The Thing. 09/10
Dont need to say anything about this one. Most of us know its pretty much flawless entertainment.
The only minor flaw which I always have noticed is that the scientists of the base dont tackle such a fatal problem with some level-headed thinking and logic, but MacReady, the helicopter pilot does? Hmm...
I do have a couple of small questions to anyone who's seen the original The Thing From Another World.
Since I havent seen the original yet, is JC's version different from the original, plot-wise and screenplay-wise?
And, is it better than JC's version? (I know the effects are different being 30 years apart, but what I really want to know concerns the atmosphere and the pace)
