In spite of several shortcomings this film still holds up for the same reason a lot of films from this era do , its simple and the storyline is clever .The idea that on another planet plant life underwent a similar evolving was to me very believable . That it couldn't be hurt by bullets because it was just like drilling holes in vegetable matter and the question ''what do you do with a super carrot?'' , answer , boil it, stew it etc. I found this very clever .All the more so because it differs from the short story ''Who Goes There ? '' . Which John Carpenter was able to present with the advent of special effects and cg effectively .''The Thing from Another World '' had no such effects at its disposal but still manages to be an effective sci-fi classic .
