>>369712I remember liking the original version of The Thing better than the John Carpenter one, even if the latter is way more popular.

>>369724Have you played the game?
I bought the remaster by Nightdive on sale, haven't gotten around to playing it yet. It's supposed to be a direct sequel to Carpenter's Thing.

>>369724The thing (eh) with the 1951 film is that the tension and character interaction is fantastic but the payoff is terrible since the monster is just silly, a fucking alien Frankensteins monster wannabe.
Should have at least given the actor a mask.

>>369725No, I don't really play survival horror games.
>>369746I agree. I'll give the Carpenter version credit in that the creatures themselves are way more interesting. I've always thought the special effects are enough of a reason to give it a watch, but it's not something I ever really come back to.

>>369746I think the monster is fine, so long as you take the movie on its own terms. Of course it isn't as good as Carpenter's monster, but it's not supposed to be that kind of alien. It's supposed to be a regenerating vegetable monster. They did as they could with that concept. It helps that you don't really get a good look at it until near the end.

>>369751I'm not comparing it to the 80s remake, conpletely different standards and time.
The issue is that even compared to stuff of the time and before it, the monster is middling at best.
Mediocre visual design and he acts like Frankenstein.

>>369754It was a fucking sacrifice moving on those things, constricting, extremely hot, uncomfortable.
The fact that they were able to move and act on them at all is a goddamned miracle.
They really did kick ass
