Has anything topped it?

Species already exists and is boring as fuck, your ideas are garbage, never post them again.

Not really, but watch John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness, anyway.

So how would you make a Thing sequel

In terms of Body Horror The Fly comes close.

did you know in a delete scene he merges the other monkey with a cat?

The entire story only really works as a standalone. Given the whole point of the movie was them trying to prevent the apocalypse.

I wouldn't. I would make some other kind of existential horror. The Thing is perfectly self-contained. Just make something similarly themed, like how Sphere was kind of a trashy Thing but underwater.

the thing is pure reddit

then there's a really huge plot hole. if the goal is to prevent its spread, why not just round up everyone at the station and then kill everyone and then yourself?

the void is no where close never mention them in the same sentence again unless you're saying how inferior the void is to the thing senpai

Because one, then there would be no movie. two, just because you can avoid being infected doesn't mean the people who come to investigate what happened wont be infected by touching your corpses.

>it so easy to just kill yourself ha ha what are stupid charaters
are you retarded or smthn?

in the process of eliminating people, you can constantly test the blood of the eliminator, and burn the bodies
would a person's ego really get in front of humanity?

The prequel.
Duh.

Problem Child 2

Reminder this is the better and scarier film.

In terms of horror The Shining is leagues better than it, but they're both top tier kino

What does this movie got to do with alien invasion? Dumbass.

I can see the argument there. Hell, even the b&w Invasion was disturbing in its own way. The scene of the couple stumbling across the wilderness trying to escape while air raid sirens go off in every direction freaked me out as a kid.

Carpenter is a mediocre director. This is his best work and it’s a 7.5/10

They Live, Prince of Darkness, Big Trouble, all suck. The Fog is ok

OP never said what has at been topped in so i assumed he meant horror retard, and I said in terms of horror not alien invasion

kys nushit

self-preservation is a highly strong instinct

Only your mother when I shoved her into it.

Hot

Who gets to die last and are they infected?

I've only ever seen the Abel Ferrara version and I think that combined with the 90's Outer Limits instilled an intense dislike towards downer endings into me as a kid.

I'd rather take The Thing's ambiguity over that anytime.

Read the OP again shithead

>this movie sucks!
10 years later
>this movie is epic!
Why did the critics all of a sudden completely shift? I’d understand if it was a few that changed their mind as the film aged but now all of a sudden it’s a horror classic

I think it had something to do with audience expectations at the time. It was the 80's so it was the time of excess and self-improvement, people didn't take so well to bleak shit. Day of the Dead suffered a similar response and I don't think that film ever quite recovered from it.

Prince of darkness is his best

ET

Is this the one that starts with the raccoon? I couldn't eat after seeing that one.

Both the OP one and the prequel are both predicated on people knowing and reacting with hostility to the Thing from the outset.

Maybe have it that it learned it's lesson about being so willy nilly with infecting people, and this time around (with the movie from the perspective of the Thing) have it be restrained and careful if it even chooses to infect others at all, and really it just observes and studies them to understand it's threat better.

Hell maybe the entire movie, at some different staiton after being rescued, the Thing is just busy building it's little escape UFO once again in secret, while trying to pass as human and observe those it finds itself among. Maybe at some point someone or ones gets accidentally infected, and the Thing goes out of its way to destroy it's spread-self in order to keep it's cover, in case the spread-self went back to being monstrous.

In any case, avoid repeating the first two movies which are just "Thing slowly infects base of people as they also fall to paranoia".

Adapt the graphic novel. Scale it down if you need to. I just want to see the thing in a setting that isn't the Arctic.

It almost can't work in a setting that isn't so isolated because anywhere else, it can just spread and infect exponentially. At which point it would be like an apocalyptic tyranid horde movie.

Maybe could put it on a boat, and hope people don't ask why it wouldn't just jump overboard and infest ocean life.

By not making it

The shining
The exorcist
Rosemary's Baby

it's not even scary just a bit disturbing and the story isn't interesting at all

Guessing it's not the same critics as 10 years before

Carpenter's Prince of Darkness is better and waaaaaaay more terrifying. Genuinely the most disturbing film I've ever seen. That said, out of his apocalypse trilogy The Thing has the best special effects and the most cohesive story by far. Regardless, it goes Prince of Darkness>In the Mouth of Madness=The Thing in terms of quality. PoD is the scariest movie ever made

The Void is just a ripoff of event horizion, the thing, resident evil 1, and especially the beyond and hellraiser. The actors did good and it's a fun movie but it sucks because it's all references and callbacks to movies that have artistic cohesion while the void itself is just that, a void of meaninglessness with some decent practical effects, shitty characters, and a writer and director smart enough to have watched actually good horror films at some point. The Void sucks more husky dick than the average white woman
