Most classics are constantly getting shit on with pathetic remakes that are either gorefests for no reason or family friendly PG-13 films. It’s very rare to find a director that “gets” it, someone that can both pay homage to the source material while adding their own unique spin that makes their film feel purposeful and not a complete waste. The Thing (2011) is one of those films that “gets” it."
