John Carpenter is back!
13 March 2006
Very good come-back by John Carpenter. This is on level with Mouth of Madness and he seems to have put some of his talent into this film, which he did not do with, for example, ghosts of mars. So it was very pleasing to see this great movie in a great series. Carpenter and Argento are masters of horror. I would like to see the other title: jenifer as well. It looks very scary. Of course, these guys are now heavily influenced by Asian horror and they must be wondering why they didn't think about those images first. Carpenter is also best when he is making these meta-fictive movies because then he is able to transcend the sloppy time which the American horror movie is in. Cigarette burns is very critical towards Hollywood. At least twice someone in the movie says that Hollywood movies are bad. Moreover, this movie is more inspired by the imagination of Clive Barker (Hellraiser) and other visionaries. 10/10.
