Then again, you can consider the 1982 version either a sequel or an homage to the original.
The 1951 version is still worth a watch.



The one from 2011 was a waste of time and effort. It was completely forgettable even though it was a prequel to the events in "The Thing" and not a remake.


While the original 1951 film is a classic, the John Carpenter remake is by far the best adaptation and will stand the test of time the longest. Only serious film buffs still watch the original from 1951 while the 1982 version is still being discovered by younger sci-fi fans today.
