| A
being from another planet who has for thousands of years slept beneath
the Antarctic ice wakens ready to end the lives of a group of American
scientists. Thirty years after Christian Nyby and Howard Hawks’
The Thing From Another World, John Carpenter makes a
new version of the story. An energetic film starring a group of men constantly
on the edge, faced with an unknown and almost invisible danger, with no
respite, mistrustful, frightened. A claustrophobic western, white and
frozen, with an original sound track by one of the masters in the genre,
the Italian Ennio Morricone. |
