9. The Thing (2011)

Marketed as a prequel to John Carpenter's 1982 classic, The Thing tried to explain to the audience about the events leading up to that original movie. Beneath the pure intentions, however, CGI robbed the practicality that established the predecessor to such heights of iconic status. Originality just wasn't there, and over-reliance on jump scares were thoroughly disappointing for fans of the classic. Though it filled in some backstory, the film was not able to capture the suspense and paranoia that made Carpenter's version a cult classic.
