Dismissed by many as just a convoluted and slimy shocker, this is one of John Carpenter's best films (still not available on Region 2 DVD!)and amost 15 years later it's even more relevant than it was in 1995. Imagine if Stephen King or Dean Koontz or James Herbert books started driving the readers crazy and that the author had gone missing. What if you wrere a private-investigater hired by the author's desperate agent to seek him out and find out what the hell was going on. And what if you found him in a strange and spooky vilage in the middle of nowhere and the villigers were all mad? shake up that mix with loads of H P Lovecraft, Sam Neill as the sceptical p.i. and blend it with some pre-apocalyptic imagery and you have an intelligent horror movie that when viewed in this post 9/11 era is actually quite disturbing.
This is Bill Murray's flat-out best performance ever. The jokes are non-stop, and if you just don't get it, well, "Mother, help me."
Despite being panned by citics, this movie is a fantastic comedy, filled with hilarious dialogue and moments. Ending is a bit hokey of course, to keep with original - but I make this a holiday tradition to watch every holidays!
