In Reply to: Coming Oct. 14: Prequel/remake of John Carpenter's "The Thing" posted by Mike K on October 7, 2011 at 21:42:38:
this could be filed in the "I must be getting old" category.
Carpenter's "The Thing" was a remake of the 1951 movie that we used to refer to as "The Thing" but the complete movie title was "The Thing From Another World".
But by now, very few seem to remember the 1951 movie but instead recall the 1981 flick by Carpenter and starring Kurt Russell. When I saw the Carpenter remake, I recall being somewhat let down. Or maybe the 1951 flick, dated as it is with its early fifties sensibilities, is a pretty good thriller.
I guess nobody watches those old fifties sci-fi horror flicks anymore.
