John Carpenter had some good horror credits to his name in Halloween, The Fog, The Thing and Christine, so why didn't this take off, due to 20th Centuary Fox for messing up his previous film Big trouble In Little China, thanks to those idiots for not promoting the film well, some thought this would follow suit of being another mix of genre's together. So Mr Carpnter made another horror and this was brilliant yet never got the good right up, could that be because 10 years earlier Exorcist II came out and a lot of people liked that film yet hated this film??
What is there to hate about this film, it has suspense, terror, great make-up effects, a haunting background score, the late Donald Pleasance is in it and a assortment of other good actors and Alice Cooper of course. It's basically like a present day demonic possession film, Satan gathering new minions on Earth. So those who hate it can kiss me where my cheeks meet, thankfully this has the cult following it should have when it first came out. Attachment 236204 |

With the exception of 'Halloween', at the time of release, nobody liked *ANY* John Carpenter film!
'The Fog', 'Escape from New York', 'The Thing', 'Big Trouble in Little China', 'Prince of Darkness', 'They Live', 'Escape from L.A', 'Vampires', 'Ghosts of Mars'...they were all totally ignored or slated by the reviewers when they were first released!
