    Solid Carpenter, solid lovecraftian; police station 13 zombies are ghetto gangs, ghosts are street beggars,...

    Better than The Thing and The Thrilling Black Hole. Carpenter is so good at setting up the atmosphere and creating the space, this time in the enclosed building, science and religion are just a method, a means, all seemingly strange or strange behaviors are harmonious in this space, such as the one through Dreams transmitted by brain...

    Carpenter is too good at shaping this accumulated sense of horror, and the weirdness of Cthulhu and religion combined with the soundtrack of drumming and percussion is chilling. The causality that echoes before and after in the film, whether it is the director’s trick or the film’s questioning is a matter of opinion, but the figure's despair and powerlessness are undoubtedly the cohesion and sublimation of the sense of horror. Three and a...

    John Carpenter once again proved that he is a hardcore fan of the myth of Cthulhu. Science and religion have joined forces to fight against evil that predates humanity, and the mystery throughout. This kind of setting can easily attract me, old man. Good at keeping the atmosphere tense for a long time by relying on the soundtrack (and...humanoid devil). Other than that is photography. There is always darkness in the picture that can hide evil. The characters walk around as if they are...

    3.5. The charm of films like Carpenter is that you can’t ignore the obvious logical loopholes, stupid character motivations, and a certain degree of dirty lens language. On the other hand, there are rich levels of themes and metaphors in the script. , The continuous disturbing soundtrack and the evil atmosphere created by some imaginative visual creations are equally impressive. PS films are cult enough to "reveal" the truth about...

    At the beginning, it was a little bit mystery, but the plot was very catchy, and the overall results were fair, and there were a lot of idiots in...

    The atmosphere in the early stage was very good. After the monster appeared, it became weak. After all, he knew to spit. In addition, the fire axe is really a weapon for slaying demons and...

    Master Card is Lovecraft's reincarnation

    I used to think that by watching John Carpenter's films, it was easy to see that Master Carpenter was actually quite similar to HP Lovecraft's approach in atmosphere creation.
    Summarizing from previous readings, the atmosphere creation in Cthulhu’s story is like this-every chapter and every...

    Stimulate

    Music makes the movie full of anxiety and anxiety from the beginning. The science and philosophy in the film have no power in the face of the devil. The movie was in 1988, and the special effects makeup is already in place. The ending also left suspense. After being deeply poisoned by the Haolaiwu...

Prince of Darkness quotes

  • Brian: What happened? You talk numbers, you get romantic. You talk people, you clam up.

    Catherine: Just a little miscue, that's all.

  • [Brian attempts to tell Catherine he loves her after sleeping with her]

    Brian: Can I tell you something?

    Catherine: Please don't.

    Brian: I want to.

    Catherine: Tell me next time. If there is one. Or the time after that, or... two years from now.

    Brian: Who was he? The one that gave you such a high opinion of men?

    Catherine: I wouldn't like it if either of us jumped to conclusions.

    Brian: How do you know what I was going to say what you think I was going to say?

    Catherine: Because if you don't, I don't want to know.
