A "Must-See" for all Sci-Fi Horror film Fan...
5 Stars
A "Must-See" for all Sci-Fi Horror film Fan...
But especially for Fans of John Carpenter's Classic version of "The Thing" (1982) ... Please Note, this is NOT a remake NOR is it a sequel! This is a PREQUEL; an original story and lovingly crafted film that painstakingly details the history and sequence of events that graphically explain just what happened at the Norwegian's Camp in Antarctica and reveals why the Norwegians are using a Helicopter to chase after and are trying to kill the "dog" (the Husky) that runs into the American's Scientific Outpost at the very beginning of John Carpenter's film.For what it's worth, I saw the Carpenter's film several when it first came out in theaters back in 1982... and I consider myself to be far more than just your average Sci-Fi & Horror film fan (or critic) as I actually have worked in live action film production in Los Angeles for well over 30 years... And as Carpenter's film is among my favorite in this genre, I was pretty skeptical when I first heard that this was being made.But upon leaning that Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff Jr (ADI) were involved with the Make-Up and Mechanical FX, my skepticism evaporated. If you're not familiar with ADI, they are the guys responsible for the Oscar-winning Effects in Jim Cameron's T-2; Aliens; and a bunch of other awesome FX-laden films. Needless to say, you won't be disappointed!This is nothing short of an incredible homage and companion piece to Carpenter's film. Taut, suspenseful and even nerve-wracking at times, it fills in all the gaps and mysteries that are only alluded to in the 1982 film. Excellent Direction, casting, acting, art direction, editing, lighting, music and absolutely outrageous Special Effects... this is a fun and fantastic journey into the icy unknown. Here's my suggestion... Get this and (if you don't already have a copy) buy a copy of John Carpenter's film... and then watch them as a "back to back" Double Feature to see what an incredible job they did in making this film compliment and "merge" so seamlessly together with Carpenter's classic.
