Practical effects are the best

Rating: 8/10 (1 November 2019)

What can I say about this movie that has not been said by so many before me? This is what was once known as a cult classic, but I feel it is coming into its own as a real classic. John Carpenter does a phenomenal job weaving suspense with terror, touching on the distrust of others that we all harbor. Without giving away too much, even the ending leaves you wondering. The acting in this is great, with so many seasoned and up and coming actors inter mixed. This is one of those films that is so much better than the movie upon which it is based. I absolutely love the use of practical effects as well. If this movie was made today, with all digital effects, I feel if would lose something.
