watch prince of darkness youll see what i mean

... I love that movie as well ... not as good as "they live" ... but its cool!!!

... I know some people don't get it, but I just love B-movies

i do to good ones

It depends what your looking for in a cult film ... I agree Prince of darkness is not one of his best, but its still a pretty good movie for its time and budget and the genres its in ...

... the fact is those kind of movies are made less now its either expensive cinema or straight to video crap ... guys like carpenter where going for the middle ground ... good fun cult cinema.

... I guess Im a fan of "they live", I would not say I was one of "Prince of darkness", I just think its ok ... theres a lot worse out there!

i disagree

I guess your right about this in terms of Prince of darkness ... you either like it or you don't ...

as for worse films in similar genres

Blair witch
Troll 2
Lighthouse
City of the living dead
Darkbreed

... etc etc and theres a lot worse than those (well except maby Blair witch which is the shitiest thing I have ever seen!!!)

you should see pinochios revenge thats the wrst one ever

i love "they live"
it was very cool when it first came out. i pretty much love anything by john carpenter. this doesn't mean i am blind to his downfalls but this movie is good overall. it's his style.

very funny.

I like "They Live" alright and "Prince Of Darkness" was pretty good. I think John Carpenter has becoem the kind of directer that Wes Craven has been his whole career: Hit and miss all the way.


Here's a quick rundown:
Great films:

Halloween, Escape From New York, The Thing, The Fog, Christine, In The Mouth Of Madness

Decent films:
Pince Of Darkness, They Live, Villiage Of The Damned, Ghosts Of Mars, Big Trouble In Little China



Bad films:
Starman, Memoires Of An Invisible Man, Escape From LA

And that's my take on Carpenter in a nutshell.
