The original The Thing From Another World from 1951 is, IMO, the better two of the movies. A good cast with Kenneth Toby, Margaret Sheridan, Douglas Spencer, and Dewey Martin. The more I see this movie the more I appreciate Margaret Sheridan's acting ability.

One of the things I like about the original movie is there are few special effects and much of the story plays upon your imagination.
