Carpenters finest, a nail biting, seat grabbing, gory roller-coaster!

Rating: 10/10 (3 March 2005)

This has to be John Carpenters finest hour.It exudes a classy confidence right from the opening scene. Without being sexist - its a real mans movie , not a woman in sight!The occupants of outpost 31 get sucked into a vortex of terror courtesy of a stray Norwegian husky dog. Once ROB BOTTINS , literary , twisted creations first grace the screen you know you are in for a special experience.Visually stunning, technically impressive and with an impressive ensemble cast this movie experience has to be one of the best suspense/horror films ever made!! The location filming only adds to a superb cinematic experience and the set director and lighting/technical crew deserve credit for a truly intense and eye popping ride! When seen for the first time i bet you are genuinely surprised "who is not what they seem" during the phantasmagorical blood test scene- a veritable tour De force of suspense!! if you love movies you must see this one!!!don't spend the rest of the winter tied to this f*****g couch!! - superb.
