Creepy good time
This used to scare me as a kid. That opening sequence with John Houseman is just about as forbidding as one could get at that time. Of course horror movies are so much different now (over the top gore), but like the original Halloween, scary without a lot of slashing & gore.
Scream/Shout Factory releases are awesome. They have done a great job with releasing quality Blu-rays of classic horror movies, and this one is no exception. I had a crappy DVD version for a long time so upgrading to HD was great. Granted the limited budget & production values, the Blu-ray quality is good.
John Carpenter is 1 of my favorite directors, so this is just one of many of his movies that I've recently purchased.
My wife turned me on to this movie and I'm glad she did. It is full of both big-time actors/actresses as well and very good supporting A/A who do a bang-up job. The movie style is more classic cinema/film-noir for a suspense/horror movie. If you have to have modern style CGI and effects than please don't bother with this one. The character development is great and it makes me wonder why this movie isn't applauded more. Perhaps because it doesn't really break a lot of new ground even when it was released. Sometimes though I really am not looking for another Quentin Tarantino-esque movie. Even his stuff is old-hat now. Why not enjoy something that's well done and has Jamie Lee Curtis in it?
