I saw the remake today for free. I've made it clear I hate most remakes but the original was such a piece of trash that it made the remake look good. Yes this version made more sense and was better then the original. Am I saying go see it? No I'm not! It's still not a good horror movie but better then the first.
I don't know Chorse, even though, the original had so much flaws, I still think it was more raw, bloodier and unique. I have nothing against the remake but it left us with more survivors than the original. There is one scene from the original I was waiting for them to show in the remade but I guess it was too obscene for our pg-13 audience. Anyway, I wanted that scene to make the cut, since it was the most female empowering scene for that decade. Although, I think this newer version was good but it's definitely not as good as the original was, as the former offered more originality and a darker side of our society. ---------- Support your horror!
The rape scene was indeed brutal, I was waiting for them to show us the scene when Mari's mother tried to seduce one of the criminals and even went so far as to try to suck his d&%k and she bit it off. That scene was priceless! Loved it! ---------- Support your horror!
Why: The Thing is always going to remain one of the greatest Alien movies ever because the storyline is both plausible and unimaginable. The Prequel to this Claustrophobic and Paranoiac tale of a shapeshifting alien that overpowered a Norwegian Research team by assimilating them is likely to be both highly anticipated and mostly watched - wrong. But I loved the storyline, I loved how it ended to merge with the beginning of the former movie, I loved the special effects, I also loved the actors I thought they did a very good job overall. This Prequel will make you feel that it was necessary to The Thing franchise as it explains the Alaskan Malamute being chased after and shot at by a rifleman from a Norwegian helicopter.

WTF Scene: Where Elsa played by Sarah Polley and Dren played by the gorgeous Delphine Chaneac are in the woods, Dren tackles Elsa to the ground, Elsa screams trying to understand Dren's motives for attacking her, and He-she tells her that it wants to be inside her, at that point I am not just taken aback, I cannot believe that she seduces and does the dirty with Clive played by Adrian Brody supposedly her father figure and now Male-Dren wants Elsa (her mother figure), can you say, incestuous menagerie to the max? Shockingly her tail was not only a sharp tool used to kill innocent animal and people alike but also a make-shift penis forced on Elsa as Male-Dren rapes Elsa for over three minutes with her multi-purpose tail.
Actor: Adrian Brody, Delphine Chaneac, Sarah Polley

Bottom Line: In Splice there were a lot of WTF moments but this rape scene was unlike any other as I was both violently traumatized and brain-raped by that part.
