I love the meta-ness of it where it's not afraid to blur the lines between what is real and what is fiction. Even as you're seeing how fucked up it is but let yourself have a good time with it. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-11117105084101284602015-11-20T11:30:00.113-08:002015-11-20T11:30:00.113-08:00Love how Carpenter filters Lovecraft through his o...Love how Carpenter filters Lovecraft through his own sensibilities and makes a meta horror film that outclasses the entire SCREAM franchise and then some. This film sucks you in right from the INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS-esque opening and never lets go.

Martel-I really think this is Carpenter's most forgotten and underrated film of his career as it is very offbeat as well as knowing where to scare and where not to scare. Plus, I think Sam Neill is overlooked for his performance in the film as he seemed to enjoy himself throughout the entirety of the film. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-6839548275941030342015-10-22T21:19:32.948-07:002015-10-22T21:19:32.948-07:00Really love the surreal and terrifying atmosphere ...Really love the surreal and terrifying atmosphere of this film. Another under appreciated film in Carpenter's filmography, but man does it work overtime to get under your skin. Lots of great references to H.P. Lovecraft in this film too, and as a fan of Lovecraft's writing I always get a kick out of it. I really like Sam Neil in this film too. He does a great job of breaking down bit by bit as the movie progresses. Roman J.

This is a film that was very polarizing when it first came out but it has become this cult classic and it's certainly a film that needs to be seen a whole lot more. It's a real gem and an underrated one. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-22580720586551472662015-10-12T12:31:36.844-07:002015-10-12T12:31:36.844-07:00UGH, I'll seek this out when I get settled in ...UGH, I'll seek this out when I get settled in FL.

John Carpenter in the 1990s was hit-and-miss but this is often considered his most underrated film and this is a film that I think more people should see. It's really unlike anything and it's far smarter than it is. Plus, seeing Sam Neill be funny was actually refreshing.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-27916258483046936422015-10-11T20:44:53.249-07:002015-10-11T20:44:53.249-07:00Boy I've been meaning to see this one for ages...Boy I've been meaning to see this one for ages, not sure why I still haven't seen it.
