Thing, The
horizontal line

Paranoia quickly escalates in this creepy, tension-filled, violent, inferior prequel dotted with loopholes to John Carpenter's classic 1982 thriller, which is based on John W. Campbell, Jr.'s novella Who Goes There?, when a smart, no-nonsense American paleontologist (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) joins two other Americans (Joel Edgerton and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), Norwegian researchers (Ulrich Thomsenm, Eric Christian Olsen, Jørgen Langhelle, Trond Espen-Seim, Kim Bubbs, Stig Henrik Hoff, Paul Braunstein, Jo Adrian Haavind, Carsten Bjørnlund, Jan Gunnar Røise, Kristofer Hivju, and Jonathan Walker), a security guard (Michael Brown), and a pilot (Ole Martin Aune Nilsen) at a remote Norwegian research base in Antarctica in 1982 where they have unearthed a hungry, tenacious, tentacle-spouting alien that can replicate its human prey.
