When the thing popped out of the ice block like a Jack in the Box LMAO


while the black dude was staring at it, that was the cheesiest most low budget fakest looking scene I ever saw in my life. I shut it off right then, it was just laughably bad. I thought this movie was supposed to be a prequel of the original but instead was the worst almost scene by scene remake I ever saw in my life. It could have been an SNL parody. I don't expect it to be as good as the original but good lord this was just miserable. I don't know what is worse the acting or the comical CGI effects. Definitely should have been an SNL parody.

Did you know this one had practical effects but Universal executives meddled on insisting to CGI them up?

Yup. The producers did a huge disservice to everyone by not keeping the original scenes and putting CGI over all the monsters. The movie might have still been mediocre, but at least the practical effects would be a nice testament to the John Carpenter remake, which has better looking special effects than 2011 CGI.

I agree that part looked corny as hell, it could of been done a heck of a lot better.
