Stop-Motion Remake of THE THING (1982) With G.I. Joes

Post by Jet_Jaguar »

This is an enjoyable stop-motion short film based on John Carpenter's The Thing that uses G.I. Joe action figures. It doesn't follow the plot of The Thing exactly, but it's still does a pretty good job of compressing the basic story into about six minutes. My only major criticism is that I think the music should have sounded more like Ennio Morricone's score from The Thing.
