Poe G Apr 10, 2019 The religious undertones & interwoven science in this movie are what makes it so good.

George R Mar 17, 2019 John Carpenter intelligently blends religion and science in this atmospheric and shocking indie horror flick featuring a fun ensemble cast. The majestic unsettling score is only the icing on this cake. See more

Anakin W Jan 16, 2019 An interesting movie that's not scary anymore, but it has an entertaining plot. I'm guessing this was much darker and creepier in the 80s, vs now after 32 years. John Carpenter does a great job with the direction, but his usual mastery of the score was missing imo. Another thing I didn't like was the comic relief role of the chinese guy. He was very irritating and I was praying for him to die. See more

Anakin W Oct 28, 2018 This has GOT to be John Carpenters worst film ever. The story isn't about Dracula, but satan or some other ancient evil force. The premise is very thin, a priest (Donald Pleasance doing a parody of Donald Pleasance) warns a bunch of scientists and college grad students that an evil green liquid or plasma found in the basement a 500 year old church is going to do something, or become something. This movie is endlessly talky, with some of the worst dialogue I've ever heard survive a final edit. The acting is so-so, but the characters have nothing to do but stare at random numbers on computer screens(ancient evil math!) and work on latin translations. I'm serious when I say this is the laziest attempt to make a movie by an actual, professional director that I've ever seen. Almost zero special effects, save for some worms, bugs and a woman decomposing. It's mostly people vomiting into each other's mouths and people being killed while offering little defense. One man is run clean through his torso by half a bicycle. Um, huh? Watch this one for laughs only. Nothing wrong with Alive Cooper's appearance, you may never notice if you didn't know that he was in it. He's the least of this disaster's problems. Oh, and I am a DIEHARD John Carpenter fan! Halloween is still #1 all-time greatest horror movie, certainly slasher movie. I enjoyed Halloween II and III, and I love the Fog and The Thing. I don't mind They Live and Escape from New York, Assault on P13 and Starman. All good movies. This one is surprisingly low-budget and low quality. See more

Hermione R Jul 12, 2018 Another one of John Carpenters legendary horror movies. Between this movie and The Fog they both have the same feeling as watching Halloween. Has the some of the same cast members that played in Halloween like Jamie Lee Curtis in The Fog and Donald Pleasence in Prince Of Darkness. A MUST SEE See more

Theodore R May 30, 2018 bretty gud. Definitely not better than The Thing, and I would even say I like it less than In the Mouth of Madness. But definitely worth the watch for the concepts it explores. See more
