I've always been on the fence with this one, but I certainly liked some of the scenes.

In particular that REALLY WEIRD, WEIRD "kid on the bicycle" bit--man, that was profoundly unnerving.

I also felt that it was a daring departure for Carpenter. Normally his movies are straight logic, and they're fun because they're stable. This was effective in an unstable and illogical way. Carpenter is generally willing to take a chance on an odd idea or approach.
