The DVD says:

Horror-meister John Carpenter (Halloween, Escape From New York) teams Kurt Russell's outstanding performance with incredible visuals to build this chilling version of the classic The Thing. In the winter of 1982, a twelve-man research team at a remote Antarctic research station discovers an alien buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Soon unfrozen, the form-changing alien wreaks havoc, creates terror and becomes one of them.

My Opinion:

This is a real horror suspense movie. This makes the original look extremely poor indeed. The only down point to the movie, is that it's showing it's age, though the special effects are still very good. I can't believe that they managed to squeeze all the extras onto this DVD. It's brim packed! The commentary is one of the best that I've heard.
