Carpenter is one of my all time favorite directors and writers. The Thing is actuallu a studty of enclosure and isolationism with horror and mistrust throwin in the mix. It's a great movie not just a horror movie.

Since there's indication that a sequel is on the way, I hope that it will be as riviting as the original. Unfortunatly I havent played the game version. Maybe when I get a new computer, I'll pick it up.

Le Dragon Fantome

I own this movie, and i love it. I am to, a HUGE fan of john carpenter, and all of his movies. Actually, i'm a horror freak period.

Sadly I've never seen that movie, I'm gonna go rent it today! And the game...

John Carpenters version of the thing is good but i prefer the original...

This is one of my favorite movies of all time, the graphics are freaky even nowadays... If you get the dvd version the making of feature is pretty interesting... I heard a sequel was on the way also... the game is ok, but some of the plot points are slightly confusing...

where did all you ppl hear that there is a sequel coming, i mean can you confirm or give a sight that has info on this, cus if there is i want to know damnit.

The movie is one of my all time favorites. I own the special edition dvd with loads of extras and behind the scenes stuff. The game was...well...ok I guess. If a sequel is coming I pray Carpenter does it, and it rivals the original. My other favorite Carpenter movies are: The Fog, Escape From New York, John Carpenter's Vampires, and of course...Halloween.
P.S: Ghosts Of Mars....wtf was that all about???!!!

On cinescape.com they said something about a sequel being in the works about three to four weeks ago... maybe longer... search for it on that site

Man once I saw this thread I headed over to Blockbuster and I looked for it only to see it gone... But I did score NBA Street Vol. 2, RE:Code Veronica X and Enter The Matrix for like $25... so it was all gravy...
