Almost 30 years after John Carpenter's vision of The Thing fizzled in theaters comes this new film The Thing. With a title identical to the 1982 film, this new tale is a prequel to Carpenter's film, showing how a group of Norwegian scientists in Antarctica discover an alien craft, and a living creature frozen in ice.
