Great flick

Rating: 9/10 (5 February 2012)

This is one of my favorite movies of all time and definitely a must see for sci fi horror buffs. I'll just run down the pros for you as I can't think of any cons.
Acting was superb. Everyone is believable and their fear is palpable. Kurt Russell is the great anti-hero and is great as the "clutch" guy who really doesn't give a f***. John Carpenter did NOT do the music, Ennio Morricone did thank goodness and his score set the mood perfectly. John Carpenter should not score movies even though it's apparent he loves to dabble in music. Is he trying to save a buck or is it ego? Rob Bottin's special effects were phenomenal though they were considered gross and too gory when the film was released. The story is different from original version though the original was good also. This is by far John Carpenter's best movie and is much better than Halloween imho.
Along with Alien this is as good as sci fi-horror gets.
