The Thing (1982)
I've seen this movie a couple of times but now that I was in Lovecraftian mood, it was even better.
Only thing that confused me a little bit was the ending.
Read somewhere that the bottle at the end was a molotov and not a drink.
And the non-Kurt Russell guy took a drink so he's supposed to be the thing.
Also read about the alternative ending, in which an infected dog escapes.
The Thing (2011)
Was in the mood, so I gave the prequel/remake ago.
Better than I expected.
The creature was done quite right. Special effects and gore were good.
The atmosphere wasn't a tight as in the original.
The story wasn't great (some things didn't make sense) but still better than expected.
Only the way they tried to tie the ending to the start of the original was a bit messy. =SPOILER at the bottom!=
Overal not bad, but could've better with some changes.
All of a sudden a guy who got attacked by The Thing appears again, without any wounds. In my logic he was supposed to be dead (or consumed).
But he turns out to be the guy in the original, who's shooting at the dog from inside the chopper.
