To me the lack of answers is what makes this movie and this monster especially fascinating. We don't know anything about the Thing's motives. Was it piloting the spaceship we saw or did it infest it and attack its pilots? Was landing on Earth an intentional invasion or an accident, and does it want to deliberately infect the whole planet or is that simply a by-product of its biological imperatives? Is it capable of intelligent thought regardless of its form, or does intelligence only manifest when it replicates something like a human brain? Is it simply a single lifeform with linked consciousnesses residing in different bodies, or does physically splitting off create a new and independent Thing? And if the latter, do multiple Things have the same agenda? Would they cooperate with one another or would they compete for resources? Would two Things attack one another? Would two Things even recognize one another, if they are perfect replicas of their host lifeforms? Can Things communicate with us and simply choose not to? The maddening lack of clarity amplifies the horrific nature of the scenario. This is the third time this story was adapted. It was also filmed in 1951 as THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD (same scenario, different kind of monster) and in 1972 as HORROR EXPRESS (takes a lot of liberties with the story but is essentially the same). The 2011 film is not an official remake but a prequel to this film, but in effect plays out like a remake. The other John Carpenter films, PRINCE OF DARKNESS and IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS, are not true sequels but deal with similar themes and so have been retroactively declared to be Carpenter's "Apocalypse Trilogy."

What I love too is we actually know less about the thing than most viewers realize. In particular, MacReady makes a lot of guesses/assumptions that may or may not be true. Like the blood test...MacReady was just making a guess. There was no evidence that he was right, so all we can say for sure is that Palmer was a thing, and that Garry was not a thing (since he was murdered by Blair later, and if he were a thing he couldn't have been killed like he was). If we discount the blood test as inconclusive (which it was), Mac can still be a thing too. It's a film about paranoia, and it works.
@livingbeing11132 жыл бұрын
Well said. I think it was sort of a supercell or bio weapon that infested and consumed who was piloting that spaceship, and accidentally crashed on earth. Like you said, i don't think it's hostile in nature, but his biological imperatives are to consume and bind with other lifeforms, assimilating them and their knowledge. But of course it will attack if confronted. Rest is all speculation like you say. In the 1982 movie clearly doesn't want to reveal itself and communicate, probably because it felt extreme hostility from humans. It also learned to be more patient and manipulative, in the 2011 prequel it was far more aggressive. It's extremely intelligent and with millenia of universal's knowledge, as shown with Blair building a ship in few hours with spare parts, or with how it can disguise itself between us, copying the host's personality perfectly. Regarding the blood's test, it can be inconclusive, the Thing can possibly learn from it and not reveal itself even if attacked with heat.

John Carpenter did make Halloween, which many still believe was the beginning of the slasher horror movies but Carpenter personally knew the director of the movie "Black Christmas", which they had briefly talked and Carpenter asked him what kind of movie would he make as a sequel to Black Christmas and the director replied that he'd call it Halloween. But it was John Carpenter who ended up making Halloween.

Fun fact: this film is actually a remake/reboot of the original 1950's film "The Thing From Another World," directed by Howard Hawks. Coolest thing about the original was a particular scene where the group of protagonists encounter the alien monster and set it on fire, resulting in a full body fire burn stunt which was, at the time, one of the longest full body sustained fire burns in cinema history. Veteran stuntman Tom Steele wore an asbestos suit with a special fiberglass helmet with an oxygen supply underneath. He used a one hundred percent oxygen supply. Which was potentially very dangerous (Oxygen does not burn. It is not flammable, but it is an oxidizer. Oxygen needs fire, so it is dangerous to use around something that is burning, because it will help the fire to burn more quickly.)

The Movie with Mary Elizabeth Winstead is Not a Remake or a Sequel. (Very LONG Post Below) It is actually a Prequel (which is also called "THE THING") to the John Carpenter Movie. They made the Prequel back in 2011 and it also takes place in Antarctica back in 1982 and 3 days before the events of the John Carpenter Movie and it is the story of what happened to the Norwegian Base (the base where the Dog-Thing came from). The Prequel stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton. Now I myself actually do like the 2011 Prequel although it is not anywhere even close to being as good as the John Carpenter Movie. The Prequel definitely has a lot of flaws and it also unfortunately has got a lot of really bad CGI in it as well. The reason why it has the bad CGI is because the makers of the Prequel wanted to do Practical Effects in it just like the John Carpenter Movie did (they wanted to stay true to that given how popular the Practical Effects in the John Carpenter Movie are) and they did indeed do Practical Effects when they filmed the Prequel. However, after filming on the Prequel was finished and it then went into Post-Production, The Studio watched the Prequel and for some reason, they did not like the Practical Effects in it and so very late into Post-Production, The Studio hired the guys who did the CGI for the Movie "DISTRICT 9" to come in and cover over a majority of the Practical Effects in the Prequel with the CGI which they did. The fact that it was done so late into Post-Production (like almost at the last minute) is 1 of the main reasons why I think the CGI looks so bad in the Prequel. Still though, I myself do like the Prequel and if that sort of thing (really bad CGI) is not something that bothers you then you should check the Prequel out whenever you have the chance. Again, The Prequel does have a lot of flaws along with the really bad CGI and so when you go into it, don't expect to see a Movie that is better or on the exact same level as the John Carpenter Movie. Basically if you do watch the Prequel then when you go into it, just lower your expectations for it.

The 1982 version is a lot closer to the original story. The 2011 prequel was ok, but suffered because the studio made the terrible decision to replace all the practical special effects with CGI. It's still worth a watch though.

Along with Starman, escape from New York, escape from LA, Big Trouble in little CHINA, assault on precinct 13. Go with those, and his Halloween stuff, Eyes of Laura Mars, They Live, The Fog, Christine, In the mouth of madness, prince of darkness, memoirs of an invisible man, vampires!

Prince of Darkness isn't really a sequel, it's just thematically linked (and you figured that out as I was typing it). All three of the Apocalypse Trilogy are great.

Loved your reaction btw lol and got a kick out of you holding our little plushy thing that's cute ☺ Yeah this was a remake of the original from the 50's, then in 2011 they did a prequel to this film. That one had way more CGI though than this one with practical effects and animatronics. Hey was curious what's your name again? lol I know you've said it it's not Claire is it or Mileena? Maybe Carissa? I know it's a more rarer name lol. Also I'd recommend 2 other great 80's films, The Blob(1988) and also a remake and The Hidden also 1988 lol. I think you'd like both if I haven't recommended them already haha.

I am an original fan of The Thing going back to the original 50s movie and I can say that I enjoyed The Thing 2011. I only wished the damn producer didn't fuck up and replace all the practical effects with CGI. Otherwise the story was good and it gives the back story of the Norwegian camp.

@Corn_Pone_Flicks2 жыл бұрын
The 2011 film is not a remake, but rather a prequel set at the Norwegian camp, but this is not at all made obvious by the weird decision to use the same name as well as the same poster design. It's okay, but not in the same league as this film.

Bet you're glad you didn't have snacks, huh? Lol. This is one of John Carpenters finest films. He had many, though. This is the first in the "John Carpenters' Trilogy Of Apocalypse Terror". None of the films are related (except by director). However, they're all in the same theme; the Apocalypse. Movie 2: "Prince Of Darkness" (1987) Movie 3: "In The Mouth Of Madness" (1993) They're all ingenious in their own property, however, discovering that, in some insane way, they're all low-key connected? It adds to all of the plots of the trilogy

So you know, UWF...by the end of the movie- BOTH, Mac and Childs are human...they just don't trust each other( we'll see their fate in the soon, upcoming sequel). Also...the Thing( 2011) is the prequel movie to this one and shows us what happened with the Swedish research team and their perspective...the Swedish people are who was chasing the dog in the start of this movie and the wrecked research base they found. For the THING 2011- they actually recreated all the 1982 sets through pictures they had on file.

It's obvious your personality and charisma was made for doing these reactions. Outside of your full time job being. A drop dead gorgeous supermodel. But I would love to see you react to more of the movies. That many of us consider the classic or classic Hollywood films. Let's say from the 1950s to the early mid 80's. Such films as the Blob, The Great Escape, Dr Zhivago, It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad World, Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock. Death Wish (the original starring Charles Bronson), The original Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno, The Sting, Paper Moon, Capricorn One, Dr. Strangelove, Planet of the Apes ( the original film series ). Along with a host of many others. You are obviously very gifted at what you do. And are very easy on the eyes. The camera of course loves you. Take care stay safe and be well !

Fire does kill the thing, but since every piece of it can operate solo, then you have to burn every cell. A human only needs a significant portion of their body injured, such as being burnt to kill the whole organism. But with the thing as long as a portion survives, even down to a cell, then it can survive.

1. The Norgren slit his own wrists. 2. A kick ass John Carpenter movie that also features "Kurt Russel you will enjoy is "Escape from New York"😎 3. That was a doobie. 4. This was before CGI. 5. Chicks sometimes freak out over Mac's hat. (good and bad) 6.. Not murder. Self defense because Clark was attacking him with the scalpel. 7. Even with all the cool stuff the part than unhinges me a little more is when Blair is pulling Garry by the face. 8. They're going to freeze to death. Keep in mind you can't see Child's breath. He was missing for a while.

The "Childs breath" thing is just a silly fan theory. You can see it depending on how good a transfer you are watching. Carpenter has said there is no hidden answer in the movie, it's meant to be an unresolved ending.

The 2011 movie is NOT a remake. It is a prequel. It takes place at the Norwegian camp. The story was good but the producers got in the way of making that movie. They had shot about 90% of it already with practical effects like the 1982 movie but the producers turned into 3 year olds and demanded all the effects be CGI and gave the effects guys as little time as possible to do them and thus they didn't look all that good. The effects of this movie were 1000x better than the 2011 movie. Had the producers just shut the fuck up and let them keep the practical effects it probably would have been accepted better.
