Personally, Last shift (2014).

Not meant movies get under my skin but that one really did.

Any idea on if the remake of The Thing was any good? I watched the original 80s version last year and loved it. Also, I read somewhere that Quinton Tarantino's Hateful Eight was loosely based on The Thing, and after rewatching that I can see it.

    The Thing from the 2000s is a prequel. It could be mistaken for being a remake because the plot mirrors the original in a lot of ways, but it happens before the 80s version. It's not bad, but it's not better than the original, it doesn't add much either, but it isn't bad. Additionally, the 80s version is actually a remake.

    Influenced by. It's splitting hairs, I know. But the idea of a group of people trapped together that can't trust each other is ridiculously fertile ground that I'm surprised more people haven't farmed.

    To answer your question, the remake of The Thing was fine. Not good. Not bad. It's fine. I wouldn't turn it off if it were on but I wouldn't go seeking it out.

    The Head has entered the chat.

    If you haven't seen this 2020 series, do not look up any info or spoilers, just watch it.

    I would also recommend watching The Head without getting any more info. It's a solid, albeit flawed experience.
