New movie: The Thing (2011)

A re-make of the 1982 film. The story revolves around a group of scientists who discovered an alien spaceship and a shapeshifting alien life form which has been frozen in time beneath the snow and ice of The Antarctica.

The frozen alien was excavated and set back to their base camp for further anaylsis. But little did they know that the slightly warmer environment within their base camp was causing the ice which enclosed the alien, to start melt. The alien broke free from the ice and started to hunt down victims.

I just came back from watching this show. Not much of a scare except the beginning part. The rest of the movie was fairly predictable but was quite gross.

The only thing which puzzled me and my friends after the show was how the people in the base camp got infected by the alien and the sequence they got infected. Anyone willing to shine some light into this? Thanks!

Overall, 6 out of 10

Below is the movie trailer. ENJOY!!!
