One of my favorite 80s movies.
Who doesn't want to see Alice Cooper impale a dude with a bicycle front fork??? |
|
I thought you were talking about Joseph Lucas...inventor of the first self dimming headlamp.
|
|
That movie gives me the heebie jeebies to this day. It is something with how it is shot, combined with the music and the lighting... It is just... Unsettling.
Particularly the 'future dream transmission' scenes. |
|
|
Fucking great flick. John Carpenter never fails to deliver. I'd want a remake but they'd fuck it up. The music was insane and the scenes from the future were hair raising.

Great movie. His ability to build dread and suspense were never on finer display.
I'm still haunted by certain images from the movie. Like when the female scientist pushes the possessed chick through the mirror and gets trapped on the other side. You just see the scientist floating in darkness, the square of light from the mirror illuminating her face and outstretched hand, and the light flickering and then out, with nothing but a black screen. Chilling. The whole thing was full of great filmmaking. |

I thought you were talking about Dick Cheney......Peace Be Upon Him

... I've got a message for you. And you're not going to like it.

|
Great movie, also another nod for "The Keep". Both are excellent! |
|
As an old land rover owner, I really thought you meant Lucas.
Why do the British drink warm beer, because Lucas makes their refrigerators. |

Marilyn Manson sampled the future message for the beginning of his "Down in the Park" remake of the Gary Newman song:

I've always liked it, but Carpenter did a lot of stuff I like. In the Mouth of Madness is another of his I like that doesn't get much attention.
|
|
Another of my favorite Carpenter movies is Vampires. Love that one.
|
|
Carpenter is one of the few vertically integrated film makers who is worth a shit.
How many other mythical directors that hollywood loves to knob gobble write, direct, produce, make the music for and occasionally act in their own movies? Folks love to lump him in with schlockmeisters like Roger Corman but Carpenter was ahead of his time... the only thing that limited his imagination were his budgets. |

Carpenter was so spotty it isn't even funny... but Prince of Darkness was awesome.
The Dream transmissions and the swirling green thing were genuinely disturbing. I need to rewatch it. |
|
The first half to 2/3rds was fantastic. The last part was decent but not what it could have been, IMO.

There was nothing overtly scary about the " Future Message". But it creeped me the hell out.

View Quote I loved The Thing and Big Trouble but was unimpressed with most of his other stuff, I always thought they fell in the "B Movie," schlock category. Never been a real horror flick fan, though. I did like Alice Cooper though. |

Haven't thought about that one in years. Will have to watch it again.
