The Thing Blu-ray Review

The Thing 2011

We return to the barren lands of Antarctica for another dose of bodyshock horror as The Thing offers answers to those who wondered what happened to the other base camp visited by MacReady and his not-so-merry band at the beginning of John Carpenter’s classic chiller from 1982. Billed as a companion piece rather than a [...]

In going back in time to tell the story of what happened before the fateful early moments of John Carpenter’s The Thing Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. had an already high mark to overcome and the prequel with the same name certain;y succeeded in keeping many of the same visual and thematic flavours of the 1982 [...]

The plot is so complex [...]




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. In fact, Dutch filmmaker Matthijs van Heijningen Jr’s 2011 version of The Thing could be argued as a brave career choice, considering the 1982 film’s cult following. Not to be confused [...]

Re-releasing one of the finest horror films of the last ten years as its (surprisingly good) English language remake hits the cinemas is a very good thing, particularly in the case of Tomas Alfredson’s Let The Right One In which is out on Blu-ray and DVD today. A chilling take on the vampire mythology and [...]
