A film apparently so evil that during it's one and only public showing at the Sitges Film Festival descended into mayhem and the audience who survived went mad.
It is similar in theme and feel to In The Mouth of Madness and has some great set pieces and gruesome bits. Little nods to other film makers are amusing and offer great fan service, and it's interesting to see a young Norman Reedus in an early role and with a much younger sounding voice!
I really enjoyed it and my flatmate who's never seen it before liked it as well, apart from Halloween he's not seen a Carpenter movie so this will open the doors for his education! | Carpenter & Udo Kier. Nuff said
