Saw The Thing last Saturday. What did I think about it? Well, it's kinda of a mixed bag, really. On one hand, there's a lot of stuff that's really cool, but on the other hand, I had a few gripes with it, namely the CG and how the creature is portrayed.
Anyway, if you didn't know, this movie is not a remake, but a prequel that happens to take place chronologically before John Carpenter's 1982 film, which was in itself a remake of an even older film with a similar premise.
I did enjoy the film to some degree, it felt like the first genuinely scary monster flick in ages and it does it's job admirably taking a few cues from Alien. But sometimes, the CG work was very uneven and there was a huge difference between the CG and the actual puppet monster.
Personally, it's good for a mignight screening.
