Title: Dismally disappointing!
Review: Having grown up on sci-fi of the old school, and the original Thing, I found John Carpenter's interpretation dismally disappointing. It had no humanity, and none of the commarodery of the original, and he managed to wring all the atmosphere from this movie, down to the last ounce! I know that the more gore the merrier, but it now leaves nothing to the imagination, and in the end death was not nearly swift enough. Sad to say, that one of the classic sci-fi movies of all times is now out of print; if you can manage to rent of a version of the original 1951 Thing, From Another World, you will be treated to sci-fi at it's best! Skip Mr. Carpenter's.
