well well well . as good a john carpenter season 1 outing in master of horror be and this be the complete opposite . he certainly prove he be still a master of horror with cigarette burn but pro life be perhaps the bad i have see from him . it stupid and totally devoid of creepy atmosphere and tension and it overstay it welcome and despite the less than an hour run time . the script be nonsense and the character be irritable and un appealing and the conclusion be beyond absurd . and for those sucker who actually buy the dvd ( one of them be me ) while do you see how carpenter describe the film . he actually proud of it and he talk about it a his best work for a long time and and he praise the script . and in the commentary track and where he notice an obvious screw up that make it to the final cut and he just say he do not feel it essential to rectify the mistake and he just let it be there . i fear the old master have completely lose his touch . i sincerely hope i be prove wrong . i want to leave on a positive note and mention that the creature effect be awesome and though . technically speak and this film be top notch and with effective light scheme and make up effect .
