La paléontologue Kate Lloyd part en Antarctique rejoindre une équipe de scientifiques norvégiens qui a localisé un vaisseau extraterrestre emprisonné dans la glace. Elle y découvre un organisme qui semble s'être éteint au moment du crash, de multiples années auparavant. Mais une manipulation élémentaire libère accidentellement la créature de sa prison glacée. Capable de reproduire à la perfection tout organisme vivant, elle s'abat sur les membres de l'expédition, les décimant un à un. Kate s'allie au pilote américain Carter pour tenter de mettre fin au carnage. Aux confins d’un continent aussi fascinant qu’hostile, le prédateur protéiforme venu d’un autre monde tente de survivre et de prospérer aux dépens d’humains terrorisés qu’il infecte et pousse à s’entre-tuer. The Thing sert de prélude au film culte de 1982, réalisé par John Carpenter, dont il reprend le titre.

The Thing Notations et commentaires
- godzill41626 avril 2025Horrendously overhated. Too unlike the og for it to be a fair comparison. Winstead was fantastic and the ending actually had the balls to show us the mothership.
- Rhythm18 décembre 2025Good prequel, bad cgi
- Grampa Caligula4 novembre 2025Pale imitation of the original. The CGI just makes you sad, and the story is a bit disjointed for being so formulaic. It's still a fun watch, though.
- sixx8426 novembre 2025Not bad. Not as good as the original, but it does explain the opening of the original.
- adam31995 juillet 2025Never released on 4K (and not on Blu Ray as far as I know) I wish it was because it as an excellent remake. Not superior to the original, but certainly worthy and on par.
- Vandyt15 novembre 2025Underrated’ is almost the perfect way to describe it. You start the tape with low hope and end up enjoying it more than you expected. Anyway... don’t expect Alien or Life either
- Vincent Reggiannini9 octobre 2025Where John Carpenter’s movie dripped with tension and the psychology of paranoia this film is glazed with corporate by-the-numbers nonsense. It’s not scary, it’s not stylish and it is just not interesting. The only things worthy of watching are the call-outs to Carpenter’s masterpiece.
- Hoagie273 octobre 2025The original is far superior. This one is all half decent CGI little to no practical effects. It also feels like they started out doing a reboot and then changed their minds halfway through the script and decided to make it prequel.
- Zokkiie30 septembre 2025It isn’t bad at all — it’s got some tense moments, solid atmosphere, and cool practical/CGI mix, even if the CGI hasn’t aged perfectly. It doesn’t hit the same heights as its predecessor, but it works as a creepy little monster flick in its own right. Honestly feels underrated for what it is.
- MrTrivet22 septembre 2025It turned out better than I expected. A solid prequel to the 1982 classic, it tries to creatively expand the lore established in the original. From my perspective, those were huge shoes to fill - I love the original - but in many moments, I could still feel the same icy, claustrophobic, and unsettling atmosphere. The acting is strong; the cast brings to life characters that really draw you into the dark world of the Antarctic station. The CGI effects are fine and work, but they lack the brutal, grotesque quality that the practical effects in the original had, which was probably my biggest expectation. I don’t want to sound like I’m whining that things were better before, but those kinds of effects just aren’t made anymore. Overall, the film maintains a consistent, dark mood and delivers several genuinely effective moments of horror. While it doesn’t match the original classic, I consider it worth watching - especially if you want to see how the story of such an iconic horror can be creatively expanded.
- cat_pack23 août 2025Not as good as the original but still holds its own and fills the prequel void of what happened.
- Inceptah16 août 2025The 2011 Thing buried ADI’s animatronics under CGI - a studio call that killed the creature magic.
- The Movie Hater12 avril 2025This is one of the movies of all time. I hated it, as I do with so many others.
- Tomasz Stasik16 février 2025Love this classic
- N-U-M-A-N1 janvier 2025Really a great pre-Carpenter Sequel!!!!
