And that ending. How dare they??? This is/was awful. A pitiful watered down attempt at a prequel to a horror masterpiece. It's as if a group of stoner film students had a "prequel" assignment and some of the less ambitious students chose "The Thing" as their film. This is just sad and pathetic. Save yourself the tedious embarrassment of watching this, instead devote your precious time to watching John Carpenter's masterpiece.
