So... would you be willing to explain what it was about the film that caused that reaction? |
I could be predjudiced of course, bu Carpenter used to make films in a particular style, The Fog, Halloween, The Thing, Assault on Precinct 13 - all superbly crafted suspence thrillers, I liked his late 80's work, They Live, Prince of Darkness,
then the rot set in, Memoirs of an Invisable Man, Village of Damned were failures
I'll have to re-view it though as a film he made a year later I've gone back to, and I rather like it, 'Escape from LA'
I found myself laughing at strange moments in the film the painting scene
etc,
As I said I'll have to re-view it, also intersting that Carpenter regards as as part of a Trilogy of Horror with 'The Thing', 'Prince of Darkness' etc
I'm sure Hobbs end of something to do with Satan or Hell
