I'll wait till it goes to rental ... nobody wanted/asked for this remake. The original was probably as close to perfect as a horror movie could get. I would watch it 1000 times and still love it ... just trying to figure out who becomes the thing / when is enough for a bunch of repeat viewing. This remake though sounds like trash that is just cashing in ... like all modern remakes.
This is just the latest entry into the sad and evergrowing list of Hollywood garbage cash-ins. Great film died with the 20th century ... nowadays I call it a good year if there is even one quality film produced.
On a side note ... I am slightly more interested in this film just for the references to the original. Still, you know something is going to be bad when all you care about are the fleeting references it might have to a vastly superior and vaguely related original source.
