I was lucky enough that our local Picture House cinema The Belmont were showing John Carpenter's classic The Thing last night. An absolutely fabulous film, that hits all the right notes of horror and tension. Anyway, I've reviewed it before so here's a picture of Kurt Russell looking cool, and a section of Ennio Morricone's wonderfully atmospheric score for you to listen to.
They tried to recreate the magic Ennio Morricone created with this score for the prequel. Just didn't work. LOVE this film and love this score. It's aged incredibly well. The puppetry is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI was worried that the practical effects would look worse up on the big screen; actually I think they looked better. I always thought that the creature looked particularly stop-animated in the final scene, but it looked great.
