Okay, so there are definately slow spots, but they're very few, and what you really have to worry about is a couple of subtlety faults, particularly in the atmosphere department, for although the film doesn't plummet as low as jump scares as often as the Rotten Tomatoes consensus says, only with a more adorable term, boo-scares, there's a certain blatancy to the atmosphere that feels a bit more manipulative than genuine, thus diluting true tension. Still, it remains pretty decent, though not too much more than that, going "frozen" (Ha, snow joke) at average for quite a few reasons.Ī major problem and, to a certain degree, major strength with the predecessor was its slowness, which often dulled things down, yet just as often established an effective atmosphere, something that isn't quite as present in this film, as opposed to the slow spots, which are for, well, just the first act. Things had changed by 1982 for the more hardcore, and now, things are even more advanced, and let me tell you, this product of modern filmmaking is. I don't know why these people can't come up with a more subtle title when the novel they're adapting is simply titled "Who Goes There?" (Yeah, seriously, who in the world, or rather, who from another world goes there?), but hey I can at least forgive "The Thing from Another World", because that was 1951, a less subtle time. Wow, just when you thought that the title - for a film about some alien thing - "The Thing" was uncreative enough, they couldn't even come up with a different name for the follow-up, but hey, at least it's still less blatant than this series' real first installment's title, "The Thing from Another World". Sorry, but this film's having the same title as the film it's following up makes things very confusing. or remake, or reboot, or whatever in the world this film is. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" and the guy who replaced Jim Carrey for "Dumb and Dumberer", and huck them all in the Antarctic with a viciously murderous alien abomination? You get either what I'd imagine plenty of people wish had happened to Eric Heisserer for co-writing 2010's "A Nightmate on Elm Street" and Eric Christian Olsen for being in "Dumb and Dumberer" (Wow, the Erics attached to this film just can't catch a break), or the makings of a gory cult classic sci-fi horror film's prequel. What do you get when you take the producers of Zack Snyder's "Dawn of the Dead", the writer of "Final Destination 5", the chick from "Final Destination 3", young Uncle Owen from the "Star Wars" prequels, the "Zeppelin Man" from "Fringe", Heavy Duty from "G.I.
