carpenters beast

Rating: Null/10 (30 October 2005)

anyone who gave this film less than a 7.5 at least is to be frank viewing it from a snobby point of view. They are the type of people who watched pulp fiction and thought it was trashy rubbish. This film originally received terrible reviews and nearly ruined John Carpenters carear! This was the man who saved the horror genre with Halloween, and he was slated for a film that is, from mine and many other Carpenter fans point of view better!!!! The direction is outstanding. It follows the first rule of horror to the hilt and isolates its victims very artistically and gripingly. The special effects are lighters ahead of its time and used, contrary to popular belief, tastefully and well. While it is gory, it is not the gore fest that many would have you believe. If you haven't seen it then you must!!!!!
