Here's the full 15 minute version of our entry in the 'Rewind Kindly' film contest held at the Alamo Drafthouse. Sometime next month we are planning to post a version with an intro and commentary.
Oh - my - god. This was just put up on Kindertrauma. I came to this site and HAD to register just to put my comments. I am a HUGE, HUGE Thing fan - and this is awesome. Every little detail was in there - hysterical. I also liked the changing cast. Please put this on DVD and allow us to download image files to burn them.
So, so good - you guys did an amazing job. Love all the silly string effects. Plus The Tardis - genius idea! Also - all the locations - they looked so similar, yet so goofy, it totally worked.
Great job. It's clear everyone involved has a real love for the original film and probably have a great time making this. I just posted on my Facebook update - hopefully everyone else will enjoy it as much as I did.
Absolutely outstanding work! I laughed and laughed, but was also amazed at how true to the film you have kept it.
Too many reduxes, re-shoots, etc., try to throw humor into these efforts with little success. You guys understand that the humor is in the re-shoot *itself* and the clever ways you pull off million dollar big studio effects.
The guy playing MacReady (Russell) looked uncannily like the real thing, esp. in his gray hoodie. But the Blair portrayer sure gets my praises.

I haven't laughed so hard and so many times in my life. I love it!
He even did the jump-roll to grab the flare! How can I download this and have it forever?
