The 1951 Howard Hawks, "The Thing From Another World" scared the poop out of me. Jim Arness was a big part of it. Erie music and black and white contributed to the cold terror that was the creature. It seems most of the folks today have either not seen it or have forgotten about it.
The remake with Kurt Russell was savage and spectacular. The fact the beast took over other life forms was terrifying, especially considering it could get out into the world and continue to do that.
This was another take, well done too. I enjoyed the casting and the mix of characters. Modernizing the story was a very good touch. The new creature was sufficiently shocking and scary.
