Many things have changed in the 5 years since I last visited the Sundance Film Festival in Park City UT.  The crowd has changed, the hot button issues are different, and there seems to be less of an emphasis on what awesome celebrity will be present during the 10 day event.  However the one thing [...]

The Thing Review

The-Thing

John Carpenter may well be the master of horror filmmaking, but that’s not to say that someone else can’t tackle his esteemed previous work.
