It has a nonsensical title, it has fans of both Carpenter’s1982 film (To which this is a prequel, even though it is also called the thing)AND fans of the first adaptation ‘The Thing From Another World’ very, very scepticalabout it’s ability to lick the boots of either film. There’s a serious overabundance of non-Norwegian types and at least one daft “Boo...ha-ha-, it’s justa dude, oh crap, now it’s the real monster” moment. But The Thing is almosthere and here’s a creature filled, R rated glimpse at what is heading our wayon the 14th of October.
The Thing; A clip for the, confusingly titled, Prequel to John Carpenter’s classic ‘The Thing’ (updated with HD clip).

Itis also home to an isolated outpost where a discovery full of scientificpossibility becomes a mission of survival when an alien is unearthed by a crewof international scientists. The shape-shifting creature, accidentallyunleashed at this marooned colony, has the ability to turn itself into aperfect replica of any living being. It can look just like you or me, butinside, it remains inhuman. In the thriller The Thing, paranoia spreads like anepidemic among a group of researchers as they're infected, one by one, by amystery from another planet. Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary ElizabethWinstead) has traveled to the desolate region for the expedition of herlifetime. Joining a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across anextraterrestrial ship buried in the ice, she discovers an organism that seemsto have died in the crash eons ago. But it is about to wake up. When a simpleexperiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate must join the crew'spilot, Carter (Joel Edgerton), to keep it from killing them off one at a time.And in this vast, intense land, a parasite that can mimic anything it toucheswill pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish. The Thingserves as a prelude to John Carpenter's classic 1982 film of the same name.”
