This is a classic "A"-for-effort film. It's clear the movie was made by fans of the Carpenter classic. Their attention to detail in accounting for what the Americans uncover when they fly to the camp is exquisite.
However, the film as a whole, is still giving us more of the same. I thought the filling element was clever, but the ending with that flame thrower was completely dropping the ball & Winstead is unwarranted.
This movie's Thing also seems more Men In Black aggressive & not the need-some-time Thing from 1982. So, though the unoriginality factor is uncomfortably high, I'd still recommend seeing it.
