The Good, The Bad and The Remake: Movie Podcast
TV & Film:Film Reviews
The public have spoken and the films for the final episode have been chosen - by a landslide, you voted for Neal, Catherine and Ben to watch The Thing From Another World (1951) and its remake John Carpenter's The Thing (1982).
The original is another slice of high-grade 1950s B-movie from producer-director extraordinaire Howard Hawks. Adapted from John Campbell's story 'Who Goes There?', the thing from another world takes on the form of a very tall man with an odd-shaped head, limbs made of plant and a taste for blood. If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, fear not - there's actually lots of great stuff to recommend in this sci-fi thriller.
The 1982 remake needs little introduction - it's the one with Kurt Russell's magnificent beard, the chest cavity that eats hands, a head that sprouts legs, THAT blood test and one of the best dog performances in cinema history. Neal and Ben are lifelong fans of this one, but Catherine's never seen it and doesnt much care for horror films. So will the Remazing award be contested or can John Carpenter et al win her over?
