The Thing (2011)

The Thing is a prequel to the original John Carpenter's The Thing. If you have seen 1982 version you know what this film is going to do. Well you will get everything you will be excepting out of this movie. It pays to tribute to the original film very well. Now if you have never seen the 1982 version don't worry you will not be lost at all. The film sets up the story very well. It is about a group of Russian paleontologist find a crashed alien ship with a alien trapped in ice. Then in horror movie fashion the alien breaks free of the ice and starts to attack all the people at the camp. The movie is very well made. You can tell the Director knew what he was getting into with this film. The tone of the film is constant thought out the whole movie and it is shot very well. I enjoyed the DOP very much. The scares in the film are really good. There are not a lot of jump scares, but they do use them very well. Also there is a lot of CGI, but it works in this film. So if you liked the old film check it out and if you just like horror movies i say check it out
