The Thing
Flashback Friday takes us back to the icy tundra and a new battle for survival against an alien from another world. Director John Carpenter 's adaptation of John W. Campbell Jr. 's novella Who Goes There? stays closer to the source material than The Thing from Another World . Set in Antarctica, our evil invader from outer space had already been thawed by a group of Norwegian scientists, the last of whom are chasing an infected dog to the American outpost. Killing the out-of-control foreigners, our team of protagonists will have to piece together how the story began not realizing the cute sled dog they've just let into their camp could very well mean the death of them all.
