You mean you didn't like Rowdy Roddy Piper kicking ass and chewing bubble gum?

I could see why some people wouldn't like it. It does sort of snail along and some of the action sequences are a bit lackluster but I loved it because it was sort of the first Carpenter film that I watched. With an ending that made me laugh childishly and a mood that gave me chills, though it's not his best movie by far… It was 80's cheese at its best.

Not my favorite Carpenter film at all. I appreciate the concepts behind it more than the execution.

Yeah, the execution was a little weird, but as time grew on I sort of became more appreciative of it.

I think it's one of those movies that has really really subtle horror. I thinkg I talked about it on here once and I think Briggs understood where I come from.

I love this film. Cheesy as hell but isn't everything from the 80's dripping with cheese
