I myself actually do like the Prequel although I do agree that it is not anywhere even close to being as good as the John Carpenter Movie.
I do hope at some point though that they will release a version of the Prequel that actually still does have all of the original practical effects still in it (that version does indeed exist).

Agreed. The prequel was sadly not that well done. There're maybe one or two good moments, but overall, I've never wanted to watch it again. It was a story that didn't need to be told.
So many stories, so little time.

I have tried to watch it but just cannot get into it as I can with the first and best one which is Carpenter's.
I prefer the sense of mystery when they go and check out the Swede, um I mean, Norwegian base camp.
Not like there was any demand for the backstory.
Just the same old thing of H. Wood out of ideas.

Says who ?
You ?

I know that when Lars (the Norwegian with the rifle) shot and grazed Bennings, he also grazed the Dog-Thing as well.
If you look carefully at the Dog-Thing the moment it starts running again right as Bennings falls to the ground after getting grazed by Lars's bullet, you can see that it does have a wound on it.

Ah yes, that is true.
Forgot about that.
So do you think the shooter may have hit the dog from the chopper?

MacReady and Garry were both shooting at the Dog-Thing in the Kennel.
Bullets don't work on it.

They don't?

But bullets don't work on the monster.
