It's the return of the remake this week on the horror movie podcast for the casually obsessed. Join your horror hosts Kim & Jon for a trip back in time to the early 2000s when major studios and horror movie producers began remaking some of horror's most celebrated classics for a new generation. Matthijs van Heijningen Jr's ***The Thing ***brought us back to the cold, creeping dread of the arctic tundra for one of the most controversial, and confusing remakes of the era.
We've got a soft spot for the early 2000s remakes but re-shoots, re-writes, and a heart-breaking decision to replace practical effects with CGI in post has made ***The Thing ***a hard movie to love. Unless of course you wanna see Mary Elizabeth Winstead kill an alien monster with a flamethrower or get up close look at *The Thing *in a super gory autopsy sequence. And why wouldn't you!?
