Didn’t realize there was an original. Everyone kept saying The Crazies is a great movie but I tried watching it multiple times and would just get bored (the newer one). I’ll have to give this one a go!

I feel that way admit the The Thing remake/prequel. I see it on a streaming service and watch it, but it does not compare to the original in my opinion.

It’s not a bad movie, but John Carpenters The Thing is exceptional.

Same with the Poltergeist remake. I’ve never actually seen the original, but the remake is just an okay film.

Obligatory ‘Carpenter’s Thing is a remake as well’

The original movie was made in the fifties.

Yeah, and Holy Cats! it is terrible. Well, that may be a bit strong, but it has nothing on Carpenter’s remake.

I haven’t seen the remake, so I can’t compare the two. The original is a good time though. Have fun watching!
