What did people think of the remake. Theres been some pretty good remakes in the 80's like The Fly and The Thing. I think its a great remake maybe not a classic film but the gore in it was awesome. I love the original still but this was the best for me. I think Kevin Dillon was pretty good in this its a shame hes a TV actor now.

They did a great job with it. The original looked like a bag of Jiffy-pop with personal space issues.

It's a fun, popcorn re-make . . . unlike Carpenter's THING . . . which has some intriguing moments, but overall is poorly paced and overrated . . . I am about to receive some death threats as I write this . . . I insulted one of the holy grails of geekdom! BUT, as a defense, I am a huge Carpenter fan!
