Negative Positive
Title: Huge fan of John Carpenter....He redefined horror in the 70's and 80's
Review: I have owned this film in various incarnations over the years, Beta, VHS, Laser-Disc and DVD, it was not until the Blu-ray that I realized how strong the cinematography by Dean Cundey was for this film. Carpenter crafted a tale of isolation and paranoia that was unrelenting. An ensemble piece by a all male cast, (rare even today), that was superb. Kurt Russell played the ultimate reluctant hero/leader in MacReady. Even the 2011 prequel which I liked was not as engaging as this version.
Is the review positive or negative?
