Per a (rather mild) argument earlier, I declared that this movie bored me when I was a kid and scoffed at the idea that it was scary. So I figured I better put my money where my mouth is and watch it as an adult.
Here's the thing: I haven't been scared by a movie in forever; it's just a possibility that fades as you get older imo. And I stand by that: The Thing is not scary. BUT,
The Thing was better than I remembered. It was a somewhat entertaining suspense-filled movie. I was engrossed enough that the special effects didn't seem all that cheesy. (I remember laughing at spider-head when I was a kid.) I wasn't disappointed, I didn't feel like I wasted my time. I don't think it's the second coming of sliced bread, but it was a decent horror movie. I'm interested in watching the prequel just to see what's up.
So, just another reminder that reactions to movies can change based on different points in life.
