Has one extremely shocking scene (even today) involving ice cream that would probably would never go in our current PC society.
Anyone seen the 2005 remake? ***1/2
I have never seen the original but I need to because I love John Carpenter. I really enjoyed the remake but I am curious to see how it compares to the original. There was not an 'ice cream scene'.

Entertaining commentary by both on THE THING.
I agree 100%!! I think I love the soundtrack to The Thing more than anything (you know, that heart beat kind of sound)

Fell in love with this movie again! A young brother and sister do battle with a werewolf decimating their town.
