Absolutely not. It's too derivative of Carpenter's take, and the special effects can't hold a candle to his film's.

the answer is no, whichever one you meant by the original.

Ahem, one can only assume that the original poster is referring to John Carpenter's "original" film, as he has the 2011 The Thing as the topic of discussion -- and Howard Hawks' film is a different animal.

Both "The Thing From Another World" (1951) and its brilliant REMAKE "The Thing" (1982) are 100x better than this one

Sadly, there was a LOT of studio interference. This video explains some things HERE. There was to be A LOT of practical FX. The 2011 movie SHOULD'VE been better! Damn shame!
