‘Audiences hated the ending. They wanted to know who the Thing was. But I don’t care. That’s how I wanted it’
One of my favourite films was The Thing From Another World. The idea of remaking it was daunting but exciting. This was also my first studio movie so many things were at my disposal – it was very different to independent film-making where you have to scrounge around. The blood-test scene is the reason I did the movie. I thought I could do something special with it.
