As we all know by now, Matthijs van Heijningen Jr.’s The Thing is not a remake of John Carpenter’s 1982 The Thing , which in turn wasn’t really a remake of Howard Hawks and Christian Nyby’s 1951 The Thing from Another World . So now we have two Things that are only tangentially related to the first Thing , although the thing about the third Thing is that it explains how the Thing of the second Thing demolished the Norwegian explorers who were dead by the time that Thing was even a thing. The Thing of the third Thing basically does the same thing we saw it do in the second Thing , so the third Thing probably isn’t for you if the second Thing wasn’t your thing.
