| RE: music |
Even if we shouldn't judge a film based on one minute, it suggests that the filmmakers have decided to go down the cheap route with little reference to the atmosphere of the original. Two jump scares in the space of one minute in a predictable fake scare/real scare formula isn't really what The Thing is about. Then again, it's a one minute excerpt, and for marketing purposes it's probably best to show the bit that some people think makes a good horror movie. More

I just hope they keep the same haunting music from the original, and dont put Daft Punk in it or somthing....... I also hope that somewhere in the background we hear Superstition by Stevie Wonder on a radio - That would make it or break it for me..... More

Okay guys, l'm not going to judge an entire movie on the strength/weakness of a 1 minute scene with no context whatsover. If you knew your stuff you would know that the intent here is to use minimal CGI and that alot of the creature effects are going to be practical. I can't say whether this will be good or not. I love the original but am willing to give this a fair chance. That clip was released to remind people that the movie exists really- it was not intended to scare or facinate, to showcase More

The script is good.
The casting is good.
The SFX are practical, developed by Amalgamated Dynamics, with CGI overlays by the same studio that did the effects on District 9.
There are Norwegians in the script. The English speakers are brought in after The Thing is found.
Norwegian guys chase down that dog towards the end of the movie, but it's not the end of the movie as the story continues elsewhere.
This should be good. More

Why resort to cheap scares like that when you have one of the greatest monsters in movie history? The dialogue and acting wasn't great either. Not good. More

| RE: Fresh Clip From The New The Thing |
Well sir, I don't like it.
Not only is it a dud scare but it's also completely out of character for the creature established in Carpenter's film. Wouldn't it have been much scarier if the creature would have escaped silently much like when it attempts to take over Bennings? It simply lies in wait for it's moment alone with the character, moving slowly and cautiously. There are no loud noises, screams or even signs of a struggle on the same magnitude as shown in that MTV clip. What if the More

| RE: look at me ,im online! |
judging by footage thus far I see no decent creature effects, plenty of CGI and nobody speaking Norwegian. So on balance, all available evidence suggests this will be a CG retread of the original with crap jump scares added. Oh and dont forget the love interest...
I really wanted this to be good and reading some of the on set stuff it sounded encouraging but all the footage seems to suggest otherwise. Of course nobody can say one way or another until it's out but with what we have to go on More

Had all the finese and class of some cheap 80s horror film, complete with shit 80s SFX of jumpy creature jumping out of ice. Not a good omen, especially if they hand picked this scene to get people interested in it. More

this doesnt make me feel good - whats with the jumpy jumpy?
If it's 2 hours of PG13 jump scares and CGI someone is going to get a slap.
Have the makers watched the Carpenter version and realised what made it so good? More
