John Carpenter at his best I think i have liked every movoe he has done with Body Bags, Village of the Damned and this one as my favorites, Scared the crap out of me when I was a young child but would recommend it highly. It is definately worth watching.
Most of his movies are including The Fog, They Live, The Thing and Christine to name a few.
This one can be very scary to people under the age of 14 but it a great one for Halloween time. Good one for movie parties when you want a frightening flick.
Am surprised it was so overlooked as the 80's and 90's were full of good horror movies, but this one really stands out, especually the super creepy looking Alice Cooper who is a street whacko.
