Watching Bruce Campbell beat himself up with his "possessed" hand is just priceless. The camera work makes this a real winner. Extremely memorable! This is a remake of "The Evil Dead" and not a real sequel. It stands on it's own.

This is another version of John Campbell's "Who Goes There?" which was made into the movie "The Thing" - twice. This movie was shot in widescreen but is currently only available in the 4x3 aspect ratio. This is the best quality I have seen as of 8-8-08.
