The Thing(2011)- 7/10

The original is my fav horror movie of all time, so already this movie had a a lot to live up to. It does a pretty good job. The CG effects were better than I thought they'd be, but they still don't compare to the original.

It's still good, but without Keith David and the Rus' memorable characters, and Carpenters classic cinematography, it's not quite as good. It also doesn't add anything to the story besides detailing what happened to the swedes. Was hoping that as a prequel, we'd learn more about the creature itself. Though I understand that the lack of intel on it adds to the scariness.

As a fan, I still really enjoyed it, and I rev omens it to fans of the original.
