THE THING John Carpenter's Howard Hawks's original 1951 production of The Thing from Another World can be glimpsed playing on a TV that fateful October evening in John Carpenter's blockbuster hit, Halloween (1978). A few years later, Carpenter reteamed with his Escape from New York star Kurt Russell to do a remake. But while the first movie version of The Thing was in atmospheric black and white, Carpenter's 1982 version is in widescreen, full color, and features some of the most revoltingly explicit, surreally imaginative special effects (courtesy of FX-meister Rob Bottin) that have ever been seen on the screen. Researchers in the remote Antarctic dig up the remains of a spacecraft that has long been frozen in the ice. But the alien life unthaws and infects the living (not only humans but sled dogs too), living and gestating inside them. (This horrific concept was also explored in the two versions of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the Alien movies.) This Thing is chilling in every sense of the word, with plenty of terrifying, adrenaline-pumping moments that build it to a powerful and shockingly nihilistic conclusion. It's a harsh and uncompromising movie (hewing more closely to the original 1930s story "Who Goes There?")--so much so that it probably never would have been given a green-light by any studio in the more cautious and doggedly upbeat 1990's THE THING ( PREQUEL) This film serves as a prequel to the classic 1982 horror movie "The Thing." It starts with the Thing watching a group of scientists in Antarctica as they follow a signal across the frozen land. The researchers find a craft and make the decision to study it at their camp. When they go back to their camp, they discover the alien in the craft. When the scientists take samples of the alien, they unleash the alien. It comes alive when it thaws. The group suddenly discovers that the Thing is taking over the bodies of the other crew members. What follows in this horror movie are brilliant special effects and high tension action. The movie also fills in the plot points that were left out of the original. The DVD includes deleted scenes and commentary. "The Thing" stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton. It rated R due to the graphic displays and gore in the film. It is directed by Matthijs Van Heijningen. Shipping Info Shipping Handling Charges are indicated below.
