Movie | The Thing (82) | PASS

How rare is it when a remake surpasses the original? VERY. I can't think of one just off the top of my head. Some were good, most were bad, but it never happens that a remake is better than the original.

This one really works because of the cast and John Carpenter. Very gross, actually pretty scary and Kurt Russell's weird sombrero is just plain awesome.

The original was pretty good, too. I don't know about the 2011 remake. I'm sure I'll see it sooner or later.

A horror keeper.
