I agree with almost all of your review, but i do really like the ending. Ya i bought it, but only because it was 9.99 and i really do like that ending. LOL ya the rest of the movie is crap, except for maybe the soundtrack.

Thank you for not bashing me. I thought for sure I would get screamed at over this.

this one from carpenter is indeed very slow going and pretty boring,i would have never thought carpenter wrote this too!!! reminds me of vampires too, which is not as agonizingly boring as prince of... his best films were the older ones as halloween and starman. i give prince a half of an star rating.

Hey, someone else found it a little disappointing. Glad I'm not alone on this one.

okey, I think I saw it, Im not sure, I saw this movie years and years ago (I think) and I didn't really liked it, off course, it's possible that I would love it
(is it with the magicien or something, comming out of the ground in the end? or something like that?)
anyway, everybody has his taste in movies dude

I saw this one in the theater, my senior year of high school and I enjoyed it. Of course ,I was making out with a chick for about 20 minutes right when the lights went out. Yeah it was a little slow, but the ending more than made up for it.

I think this is maybe Carpenter's last real good movie...it has the old style-look to it like The Thing and Halloween. The music and photography are really stylish. Compare this to crap like Ghosts of Mars for instance. Seems like two different directors!
