never seen such a bad movie in a long time


skipped through about half of the movie and still didn't miss anything

Correct. You've never seen this movie.

I like how you guys just tore him to shreds, and then took it a step further and incinerated said shreds. Awesome.

I honestly didn't care much for it either. I usually love Satanic/supernatural horror movies and like the other John Carpenter movies I've seen but for some reason this one didn't resonate with me. I found it to be dull, the plot was rather confusing, and it was a chore for me to finish. This just wasn't my kind of horror. No offense to John Carpenter because he's still a great director.

This movie was remarkable during the 80's. But were not living in the 80's anymore.

The thing that really upsets me is the cast. Everyone is too old to play a real student. Real students are young people and not hairless morons.

You need to learn to view things in the context of the era they were made in. I mean, who cares if we are not living in the eighties anymore? That doesn't negate anything in this film. That is like saying you can't enjoy something because it is old. I disagree wholeheartedly. Also, students come in all sorts of ages in regards to college, so I disagree with you on that as well.

I am not a fan. I just happen to enjoy movies. Fans are embarrassing.

The students in this movie were PhD students, not college freshmen.
