more masterful direction by carpenter

Rating: 10/10 (26 October 2002)

I first saw a commercial for this movie two years ago on cable. I didn't think much of it until I actually watched it two days later. This movie is purely a masterpiece. It almost surpasses Halloween in some aspects. if you're wondering why you've really never heard of it, it was released about two weeks after E.T., which completely overshadowed it. For those of you who haven't seen it yet, be prepared for some of the most beautiful special effects, grotesque, but beautiful. Too many movies have lousy computer effects which ruin them. In horror films you need the villain to be maluable, you need to be able to touch it. I very much recomend this for someone who's looking for a good Carpenter movie.
