The Thing
When paleontologist Kate Lloyd travels to an isolated outpost in Antarctica for the expedition of a lifetime, she joins an international team that unearths a remarkable discovery. Their elation quickly turns to fear as they realize that their experiment has freed a mysterious being from its frozen prison. Paranoia spreads like an epidemic as a creature that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish in this spine-tingling thriller.

**Part of my 2022 Sci-Fi Tuesdays**
The Thing 2011 has a fault way too many prequels suffer from, and that is that it answers questions that doesn't need answering. I had no need to really see that the Thing, from Carpenter's The Thing, was an alien. I gathered that from what happens in the movie More
