truly a masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2002)

this movie is truly underrated. most people just see this movie as just another monster movie, but i'd say this as one of the best psychological storylines in any movie. take out all the effects, and the story is gripping in its own right. add the master-directing of john carpenter, an ensemble cast, a brillant score by ennio morricone and still some of the best effects ever by the master rob bottin and you have all the ingredients for brilliance. this movie is well written, well acted, well shot, well directed, and well scored. if you havent seen this, go out and buy it. and if you havent seen it recently, go watch it again.
