David E Tried to watch, had to give up after only 15 minutes. Bad dialogue, bad acting, unlikeable characters, annoying feminism. All males act like complete schmucks, all females are condescending. Root for the monster. A total stinker. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review Liam D Acting as redemption for 2011’s prequel to The Thing. This movie (which was backed by Kickstarter) had some great effects and not so great effects, an generic script and one dimensional characters and some wooden performances Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review allen p Like everyone else, I wanted to see this movie because of all the special effects. I had no problem with the dialogues being stupid, the actors being mediocre at best, the plot being written by a 10-year-old ("hey we have a space creature on the boat, let's open it without any protective clothing, or any protective measures at all") - but the special effects were actually not at all convincing, rather looked cheap. Really a shame. Still suitable for those who like 80's nostalgia. (Allen P, Sweden) Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/21 Full Review Audience Member The effects are the only saving grace of the movie. The performances are decent but nothing special, and it's clear that it's directed by someone using it as a vehicle for cool practical effects and not necessarily someone who's really interested in making a movie. It's still a fun time though, and if you're a fan of good practical monster effects, then you might want to give it a watch. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Luke S It borrows so heavily from the The Thing, it's almost painful. Having said that, it's not awful, despite the material. Worth a go. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/21 Full Review Audience Member The FX are actually pretty good. This movie was basically created to show how these folks can do FX well, without the assistance of computers. And their work was cut out of that terrible The Thing prequel, so they were miffed and wanted to show everyone it was a mistake. Honestly, I agree. The Thing prequel was a horrible abortion and the computer effects were laughably bad. These effects would have been better. That said, though, this isn't a great movie. The story is a shameless ripoff of John Carpenter's script, the acting is mediocre, and the finer plot points get lost in the shuffle a tad too often for my liking. Still, was I entertained? Yes. I can't recommend it, but I doubt horror fans will find it to be a waste of time. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
