Very disappointing
Great premise that lost a lot in its lackluster, cheap-looking execution and vague, pointless ending.
shareNah, I liked it.

I actually liked it. If you want to be very disappointed with a Carpenter film there is always Ghost of Mars and Escape from LA.
shareYeah, and Village of the Damned. Its been ages since I saw it and I think I've seen it only once, so I don't remember much of it, only the kids with glowing eyes, but after the movie I was just "what happened to John Carpenter..."
shareI saw a little bit of Village of the Damed on tv and did not care for it. Carpenter later told an interviewer he did it as a contractual assignment and he was not emotional involved in the film and it is one of his least favorite movies. It is a shame because half his movies are great to good and the other half are downright bad. From what I heard he got burned out and lost his passion in the late 90s and 2000s.
shareAfter I finish SALEMS LOT(The one with David Soul, not that Rob Lowe shit), I'm going to pop in Prince of Darkness and marvel at how awesome and criminally underappreciated it really is and made on such a cheap budget
shareI remember thinking it was just getting great right when it ended and the rest of it was a waste of time. If 20 minutes into the film the devil was pulled out of the mirror and was an actual physical villain in the film it would have been an awesome Carpenter movie. We rarely see the classic description of the devil displayed in film, it is always some evil human or eluded to as a presence but here it looked like Carpenter was going to do the traditional version of it and it would have been interesting to see him do it with his special effects crew at the time.
shareHow old are you?? Be honest?? This was made back in the 80's and if you weren't part of that Era, then chances are, you won't like this, but in the end, this movie is criminally underrated
shareI was in my 20s in the 80s. Saw this in the theater. And the era had nothing to do with my comments.
shareHahahahaha so you're between 54 and 63 years of age and you sit on moviechat crying that actresses are too flat chested, won't show their breasts and other such nonsense.
Jesus! You post like a sexually frustrated 20 year old.
Grand wizard of the incels.
Being gay you have no stake in this conversation.
And there is no limitation on being attracted to women, but you wouldn’t know that.
Also, my age means I’m far more knowledgeable about how things work, did work, and should work in entertainment and life in general than little pissers like you sitting around shitting in your diapers — and from your mouths.
