Dr. Seuss doesn't want any part of this.
A new version of "The Thing" is hitting theaters in October. The original "The Thing" (1951) was directed by both Howard Hawks (uncredited) and his Academy Award winning editor Christian Nyby. Not sure what the ruckus there was. It is also know as "The Thing From Another World". This picture is most famous for starting the "it came from outer space" craze. A good scary 50's flick but not overly remarkable.
"The Thing"(1982) by Wes Craven is much creepier. Lots of gore too, if that floats your boat. Kurt Russell stars in this version and puts in a solid performance. The 1982 version should be considered a cult classic in my book.
And Thing 3? Well, why don't you check it out and give us a review. I might save my pennies for netflix.
