Thanks to OMY.sg, I was among the lucky 10 bloggers that was invited to 'The Thing' movie screening!

Honestly, I only caught the trailer few days before the screening. Initially, I thought the movie was about zombies and viruses spreading among human race kind of thing, but it actually turned out to be something different.


A study trip for a group of international scientists to Antarctica on first sign of alien form on Earth and abandon spaceship, turns out to a mission of survival when an alien is unearthed by them. Now, speaking of aliens, what you had in mind is probably this,

  
because that's the only alien we are most familiar with, isn't it? 

Instead of baby aliens climbing onto people's faces to lay eggs in their body, the alien from 'The Thing' has the ability to turn itself into a perfect replica of any living being. From appearance, it looked just like any other human beings. Yet deep inside, it's actually inhuman.

Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) joined the Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across an extraterrestrial ship buried in the ice, she discovers an organism that seems to have died in the crash eons ago. Who knew, it was actually still alive and waiting for a chance to escape.



So when the paranoia spread like an epidemic among this group of scientist and researchers, they had zero clues who is the affected one. Fear torn them apart, friends started doubting each other. Silently, the mutation of alien DNA begins in the body. Like a sudden heart attack, the evolution can take place anytime, anywhere.


So, if you're in for a scare, faces tearing apart. Catch it in the cinema now.

If you're wondering if it's the same 'The Thing' from John Carpenter's classic 1982 film, the 2011 actually serves as a prelude to it.



Which one's scarier to you?
