Ladies and Gentleman I received some constructive criticism from D F who pointed out that the 2011 "The Thing" was indeed a prequel and not a remake. I apologize for any confusion that my description may have caused. In fact, I should have given more recognition to the direction of the 2011 film which took great artistic chances and in no way resembled the John Carpenter film. This film is not a remake, a reboot, or a rebootquel, it is in a category all by itself.

This film is a prime example of why remakes and reboots shouldn't happen. Which is ironic because the 1982 film was a remake. Well then lets just say don't remake John Carpenter movies and leave it at that.
