The Thing From Another World. 08/10

In many respects, its superior to JC's remake - like sympathetic characters, excellent atmosphere and pace, and some really neat direction and scripting. But the story is somewhat different in patches of course, and thats where JC's remake scores. The effects look really dated (but of course!), but they were pretty much decent for a 50s movie.

Overall I enjoyed it for the most part. Its a great movie. No wonder it inspired JC so much. Thanks again to alky and Z for recommending it to me.
Glad you enjoyed it.



Bonnie and Clyde (1967)

Superb. Brilliant. Brutal.
