I think this addition to the Masters of Horror series is way, way overrated in the horror community. It was good, yes, but not as great as it seems everyone is making it out to be. Perhaps just because it comes from John Carpenter, or because it's a different tone then the rest of the series. Who knows.
I liked the film itself, but it wasn't any special. I really didn't like the whole demon-attached-to-film thing. It made it seem lame and fake. Like some fantasy story. If it was just about a film that was so horrific and powerful, without any "demonic presence" or "demons attached", I would have liked it a lot better. I also agree they shouldn't have shown the film. Just the characters reactions to watch it.
I also found their reactions, what it did show, to be slightly... unrealisitic aswell. They should have looked MORE horrified, shocked, startled, terrified. They should have been on the verge of tears.
I'd give it a 7.5/10, it was a good little story, but I found it to have some things wrong with it.
