By the early 2000s, the icy reception to John Carpenter's The Thing had finally begun to thaw as audiences reappraised the film for what it truly was: a masterpiece of science fiction, horror, and suspense.

Thanks, I recently rewatched the thing and the prequel, read the book and then I heard about this game and was really excited to play it, but it was so difficult to find that it didn’t seem worth it.

You’ve piqued my interest again.

I just watched the prequel again tonight. I really hope that someday it is appreciated more like the '82 film.

The Thing From Another World is worth a watch, too. I sometimes love the subtle humour in those old movies.

I agree on both points. I really liked the prequel watching it again, I thought it was great.

I did watch the 50s thing years ago when I first got hooked from the 82 version, but I wouldn’t mind revisiting it.

Radical, thanks again. I thought the original version was American. It’s not?

I guess so, but the one in the first link wasn’t labeled, so I can’t tell which one it actually is. The ones in the second link are labeled though.
