I can see the Carpenter comparisons actually now that you mention it, but I'd definitely give Thomas Townend (cinematographer) and Joe Cornish their dues as this could definitely match up to anything that the big studios churn out in terms of visual style and magic. It's certainly going to be one of my biggest recommendations of the year thus far. Just a shame I din't catch it at the cinema.

Another downer for me though is that I'm not keen on ghost stories at all. I've always struggled with them and this was no different, but to balance it out I absolutely loved the closing ten minutes. I hope to revisit it again in the not too distant future and hopefully (as is often the case) something in me will help change my mind.

watched the remake of Arthur, with Russell Brand and Helen Mirren which made me laugh all the way through, could've help that im a fan of Brand, people who dislike him might want to stay clear though as it's very much his show, although Mirren holds her own against him. Then i watched Tucker & Dale VS Evil, which i though was bloody brilliant, a clever gory horror comedy with two of the most likeable hillbillies this side of Hills Have Eyes. A high recommendation... |

I've only just been getting on the case recently. I've been hearing about his movies, reading about them and seeing them referenced for years, but simply never got round to watching the damned things I got the two Anchor Bay box sets and am working my through them slowly. Too early to form a definitive opinion of his works as of yet, but I get the feeling he's a bit like my nemesis; Argento, who I've struggled with, but am coming to terms with now.
