The Thing 3-Movie Collection

The thing is one of the most underrated horror franchise out there. Now the original thing from another world is a straight forward monster movie. With a few intriguing moments. But the John Carpenter remake with Kurt Russell is the better movie, having the monster being a Lovecraftian horror by giving it the ability to mimic anything it devours or infects. Paranoia and tension are big parts of setting the atmosphere and suspense. The gore and special effects are awesome and still hold up today. The prequel is an unappreciated entry by telling the story of the research crew who found the alien in the first film and giving us a awesome final girl in Kate Lloyd being a Ellen Ripley successor. Now the cgi was a bit distracting but I still enjoyed.

Gift for a friend. All 3 movies are great.

Lots of fun for the Sci-Fi fan - 3 individual dvds, good quality, solid packaging - an overall excellent value.A legitimate 1950s classic movie, a fun 1980s update, and a decent 2011 action filled additon to complete the trio.Not a bad way to spend a movie weekend.

Three great movies all in one collection. The Thing from the 80's is one of my favorite sci fi/horror movies. The one from 2015 was also great. It had the same feeling as the 80's movie.

Beautiful collection of one of the best sci-fi creations of all time. Kurt Russell film is without a doubt the absolute pinnacle of amazing. The rest are also great in their own right, so you must have the complete set. So glad I got them all in one. Great addition to any collection

This is the US2023 DVD version of 3 films relsed in 1951, 1982 and 2011.The Thing From Another World (1951)Audio:EnglishSubtitles: English, Spanish and FrenchExtras:NoneOne of my favourite films, mainly because it's not a horror film as such, it's more of a drama suspence film. I've always liked the fact that it's about a team effort of trying to destroy The Thing and the characters don't appeard to be people stuck in their teenage years. The conflict appears to be more with the scientist vs the military, i.e. survival or knowledge.The Thing (1982)Audio:English, FrenchSubtitles: English, Spanish and FrenchExtras: Plenty of production notes and and a lenghty documentary (over an hour), commentary by John Carpenter and Kurt RussellMuch more of a horror movie and a reasonably good one, although I always thought the Kurt Russel seemed a bit off in this one, can't put my finger on why. John Carpenter doesn't remake the original movie his version is much closer to the orignal novel in that The Thing can change shape and so the story is as much about who has been infected by The Thing as well as trying to destroy it. It irritates me that some of the characters seemed act like moody teenagers but maybe that was the style at the time.The Thing (2011)Audio: English, Spanish, FrenchSubtitles: English, Spanish and FrenchExtras: Deleted Senes, 2 documentaries and a commentaryIn the beginning of John Carpenters movie we learn about a Norwegian site that had already been destroy by The Thing (why Norwegian?, I don't know), this movie is the story about the Norwegian site. It's biggest problem is that it's a lot like the 1982 version and therefore seems a little unecessary but it also brings back some elements of the first movie as well so it's not a bad little horror flick especially when you see the two headed version of The Thing!!

All 3 movies are great. Really good price and quick delivery

Produced by Howard Hawkes, "The Thing from Another World" is that rareScience Fiction movie to rise above the usual hokey Si-Fi fare, and be classified among Hollywood's elite motion pictures. At the time of production (1951), the nation was obsessed with a myriad of flying saucers sitings. That said, "The Thing" has stood the test of time, and continues to find an audience.The movie takes place on the North Pole, where a United States Air Force crew and team of research scientists find something mysterious buried in the frozen Arctic wastes: a crashed flying saucer and a humanoid body nearby. They return to their remote Arctic research outposts with the body still frozen in a block of ice, intent on making a study of their finding. It's then their troubles begin, as the humanoid body is a blood thirsty vegetable-like being (an "intellectual carrot", is how the alien is depicted) intent on colonizing earth with its vegetable offspring. Finding a way to stop it, is the plot of the movie (if the story sounds familiar, it is; it's the plot of "Alien").The star is Kenneth Tobey, a journeyman Hollywood actor, who spent much of his career playing second fiddle to several of Hollywood's leading men, including John Wayne and Cary Grant. As Air Force Captain Patric Henry, Tobey is likeable and believable as the leader among this group of decidedly B actors. His love interest is the fetching Margret Sheridan as Nikki Nicholson. Much of the interaction between these two is reminiscent of Bogie and Bacall in "The Deep Sleep", which is not surprising as "The Deep Sleep" was another of Howard Hawkes' movies, as was "Sargent York", which is referred to in one scene.Crisp dialogue and fast-paced action are the hallmarks of this move, in its depiction of a group of air force personnel and research scientists imperiled by a space alien (James Arness in his first movie role) that they can neither understand nor destroy. Complicating Captain Henry's job of combating the alien is his renewed interest in former lover Nikki Nicholson, and dealing with Dr. Robert Carrington (Arthur Cornthwaite), who, like the android in "Alien",wants to keep the creature alive for further study. Eventually, one of Henry's subordinates devices a method to kill the creature. The movie ends with reporter Ned "Scotty" Scott's (Douglas Spencer) radio broadcast of what had taken place at the Arctic research outpost, and his warning for people everywhere to keep watching the skies for Alien space craft.Final note: This 1951 black & white ovie is far move compelling than John Carpenter's 1982 remake, a gruesome, bloody movie that wastes the acting talents of Kurt Russell. Indeed, Hawks' movie is a classic Sci-Fi thriller, while Carpenter's flick is a more of a gruesome horror movie. I know Carpenter's movie enjoys something of a cult status among movie buffs, but it lacks the mystery and skin-crawling creepiness that is the highlight of Hawk's 1951 classic. About the only thing these two movies have in common are the Alaskan sled dogs. I give Hawkes' movie five big stars. To me, the accompanying two movies are boring flicks to fail to ingnite much interest.
