Pretty close to "The Thing" I think the newer one has a monster very close to that or it may have the actual picture itself i'm not sure. xDHigh Priest Mikhal wrote:That image rings a bell. I'm serious, I would swear I've seen it before. Damned memory!
Cool, I'll definitely check it out when it hits the streaming services. I watched the John Carpenter movie with an open mind and was very pleasantly surprised.

Just remember that the "sequel" is actually a prequel and falls into various traps modern horror is prone to (gratuitous nudity, stereotyped casting, gore over horror). It's not the absolute worst horror movie out there (that dishonor goes to everything made by maverickentertainment.cc) but I'd give it half a star at most.HuManBing wrote:Cool, I'll definitely check it out when it hits the streaming services.

It was gory, yes. But said gore served to heighten the mood and advance the story (Kurt Russel seeing the head crawl away was what clued his character in on the hot wire test in the original). This one the gore just kills the mood by overdoing it and doesn't help the story at all.Zilfer wrote:I'm going to say we are slightly off topic?
but i can't help but comment as well.
Yes the sequel was a "prequel", and a comment about the gore.... if you remember "The Thing" THAT was pretty gory for its time so it's not surprise they tried to increase the gore in the "prequel"
La Pascualita wrote: La Pascualita or Little Pascuala is a bridal mannequin that has “lived” in a store window in Chihuahua, Mexico for the past 75 years. That is quite a long time for a bridal gown shop to retain a mannequin, but then the dummy has a rather strange history behind it. According to an urban legend, La Pascualita isn’t a dummy at all, but the perfectly preserved corpse of the previous owner’s daughter.
Of course, the speculated presence of a corpse must naturally be accompanied by supernatural happenings as well. Several odd incidents have been reported around the dummy, none of which have been confirmed, of course. It is said that a love-sick French magician would arrive at night and magically bring it to life, taking her out to town. A few others believe that her gaze shifts and follows them around the store. At night, she is also believed to shift positions in the window. These tales are pretty scary, perhaps most of all to the shop workers who have to see Pascualita every single day.
