Sadly, I don't think Carpenter has any great films left in him. Not that he still doesn't have the talent to make great films, it's just that the cinematic "zeitgeist" of today just feels so antithetical to Carpenter's artistic sensibilities that he's become, for all intensive purposes, a walking anachronism. Like Norma Desmond the pictures just got too small for him. Dante too, by the looks of his last film.
