It’s sort of a remake and sort of a prequel, which is probably the only way The Thing was ever going to get around the fact many would view tampering with John Carpenter’s version of the story as sacriledge. So while the 80s flick saw Kurt Russell and co. heading for an Antarctic research station only to discover a blood bath has been caused by some sort of creature (and then get attacked themselves), this time it charts the events that led up to that. A team of scientists dig a creature from the ice that seems to have been there for 100,000 years. However it turns out it was only lying dormant and soon a shape-shifting monster is on the loose.
