The Thing

One of my all time favs from the 80s. John Carpenter direct Kurt Russell. A group of Antarctica scientist find something in the ice - what is it? Alien. One that kills and replicates, so who is the alien. They spend most of the movie being eaten one by one, or trying to discover who among them is alien. Everyone dies except Kurt's character - he's alone in the middle of one of the harshest climates. A lone wolf is seen escaping the compound that has been completely destroyed in the burning search that has taken place. So, we assume the alien is seeking new prey. The music really makes this one suspenseful. All in all, I say: RENT IT

Remake by a Norwegian staring mainly Norwegians - only one I recognized. There are Americans - one which in real life is Africa - but whatever. The Americans are recognizable - one from Warrior and one from Oz. In this one the girl and one guy make it. The end is horrible. It looks like the girl fries a real human by mistake. The wolf still escapes, but they show the guy shooting after it from a helicopter.  All in all, I say: SKIP IT and see the original - soooo much better.
