@compfu@mograph.social even his "bad" films are enjoyable imo. admittedly I bailed on "They Live" halfway thru, but I appreciated its strengths. then we have his masterpieces like The Thing, Halloween, Prince of Darkness, Escape From New York. hes always operated on the fuzzy border with B-movie schlock yet makes it work

@synlogic4242@social.vivaldi.net @jpaskaruk@growers.social Just 20 minutes in but this movie has its charm I have to say. It's from 2001. I thought it was a new movie that tried to recreate the campy and low-budget look of decades past but it's actually from back then. I mean I grew up with Babylon 5, Firefly, Farscape and so on and the sets made of rusty metal and a bunch of wires evoke a feeling of nostalgia. Not gonna lie. They built a model train! The editing... so many cross-fades 😆 #JohnCarpenter
