Title: Faithful to the Original Story
Review: This film really captures the horror of the story Who Goes There by John W. Campbell Jr. He was the editor of Astounding Science Fiction in the 40s when I was in High schol and I read him and the other great authors largely unknown to present day fans. The first attempt to put the story on celluloid called The Thing was a hugh disappointment to us Sci Fi buffs as it had little to do with the plot other than the location on the polar cap. I was relieved to see that the remake captured the overwhelming ominous dread of the printed word that was new to us in our teens. This same alien horror was again used in Invasion of the Body Snatchers, now going into it's third remake I am told. Heaven help us!
