La chose

« One gut-busting death after another, terror giving way to tedium. Your call. »

« Cette nouvelle version de THE THING illustre des évènements antérieurs à ceux du célèbre film de John Carpenter, une habile stratégie narrative qui empêche toute comparaison. Le réalisateur multiplie quand même les clins d'oeil à l'original, dans ce divertissement trépidant mais sans réelle vision, où les acteurs s'acquittent de leur tâche avec application. »

« Enfin, à moins d'être complètement distrait, vous aurez probablement deviné qui survivra au massacre dès la moitié du film. Néanmoins, La chose , version 2011, est un honnête divertissement. »

« The Thing is a whole lot better than it had any right to be, given everything has been done before, but themes of fear, paranoia and a distrust of Other will always be relevant, because the enemy always resides within. »

« The Thing is not a remake that will somehow tarnish the original by existing-- if anything, Carpenter's original seems all the stronger after slogging through this one. But it's frustrating to see talent, money and time poured into a project that's just a pale, pointless imitation of something that's already perfectly great on its own. »

« Overall; I didn't hate THE THING PREMAKE, but I didn't care for it either, it came, happened, randomly made me laugh, didn't sucker punch me, oh look some cool gore and then it went. Like dust... in the wind... »

« Female-centric remake of two famous sci-fi thrillers falls short of its predecessors. »

« To Heijningen's credit, the movie's closing scenes are gripping, flow seamlessly into the 1982 movie and would have made a great opening scene. But it's too late to save the movie, which amounts to a cinematic hot dog: It's full of body parts, but you won't get much from consuming it. »
