To be honest, this is one of few John Carpenter films I havent seen. Plan to get it in the near future however...

IMO this is a really smart idea (esp. the radio signals back in time) but, in the end, not very well-executed. . . there are lots of rough edges, weird performances, etc.

that said - i loved some of the effects (esp. the hoof and the mirror - that gave me chills).

This film is extremely underrated. I caught it on TV without ever hearing about it and it was really amazing
