For me it's The Thing. Holy shit what a good movie and the performances from David and Russell are brilliant
big trouble
the thing
prince of darkess is the reason why he is amazing. give that cast, that story and that budget to anyone else and the film would be idiotic.
>mfw the thing 2011
what went so wrong
A lot of trouble in small chinatown
Chinky Problems in a Predominately Asian Suburb.
Rob Ager, annoying as he is, has a pretty good video about 2011. The CGI is shown in full light and there is no "alien goo" which renders the CGI like ps3-worthy. The Thing looks like I Am Legend-tier CGI.
...
It's probably The Thing. I think he even believes it is.
he's also a pretty damn good composer, go listen to the fog ost
>put all your effort into movie
>takes like 20 years for people to realize it's good
John... John had a difficult
in order:

>big trouble in litttle china
>everything else
Precinct 9, Division 13
goat track.
Escape from New York, no contest
assault on precinct 13 will always be my favourite
In the Mouth of Madness or The Thing.
The Thing is his best movie, but Escape from NY is my favorite movie of his.
Undoubtedly The Thing.
The real question is what is his second best film? Escape From New York for me.
what made in the mouth of madness so good?
Not him, but, there's something about about the way the story just sort of lumbers along, that just adds to the menacing atmosphere. I don't really feel that the storyline is especially great, it's the atmosphere of the movie that really dominates.
The Lovecraft cosmic horror. The new bible is horror story, and reality is based on beliefs of people, and they have gone mad. The hero is trapped in the story that rewrites against him. A good old mind fuck.
>Prince of Darkness
>best anything
It's not. Most overrated Carpenter film by a mile.
explain yourself
This was well. Great atmosphere. Masterfully done.
Not much it's a plenty decent monster movie.
>mouth of madness overrated
>Not Prince of Darkness
The thing is his best. They live is very good as well, just not the same amount of detail as the thing.
The ward I can barely remember what happens in it
absolutely patrician list my man
Prince of Darkness gets treated like the mediocre film with some cool parts it is most of the time, these faggots talk about In The Mouth of Madness like it's a cult fucking classic.
Probably The Thing, but They Live is his most rewatchable. Just a fun ride from start to finish.
What I have seen...
> The Thing
> Halloween
> Prince of Darkness
> In the mouth of madness
> Big trouble in little china
> Assault on precinct 13
> Escape from New York
> The Ward
Power gap...
> Escape from La
Power gap...
> Ghost of Mars
Always thought They Live runs out of steam hard in the third act 2bh
Not him, but that movie is terrible
Escape from LA>>Escape from NY
Anyone else think Ghosts of Mars is actually a good movie? Not his best of course, but it's fun and has good atmosphere.
I know halloween was great but was it THAT great?
Still salty he probably wont ever get around to doing the Darkchlyde movie he was set to direct a few years back.

You have to admit the hidden space port in the TV building is pretty cool though.
>only watch the films of one director the rest of your life
How many choose this man
it was fun, also baby jason statham

Its the best slasher movie ever made except maybe Tcm.
>14 year old just got into horror movies
>halloween
>texas chainsaw
>nightmare on elm street
>first movie is always the best and the other range from meh to shit
JUST
This is a decent flick if you're looking for The Thing vibes
>Implying Freddy vs Jason isn't quality campy kino
>i watch horror movies to laugh
>look how ironic i am guys
>tfw it was supposed to be jason vs michael
A significant rustle in miniscule orientle-berg
Eh, with Halloween & Tcm it's true the 1st is best but Nightmare 3 was equal with the original if not better then it.
But Friday the 13th Parts 2 & 6 are far better then the first and I would argue a few others in the series are better also.
Also Halloween 2 & 4 are not as good as the original but they are alot better then "meh", full on great even.
The studio fucked them over hard and made them reshoot about 60% of the film they did with practical effects with cgi instead
I still have no idea how f13 made it past the first movie.
well, it is a comedy!
Halloween made slashers big money, f13 showed your didn't have to have a talent to do them and make money.
For me Prince of Darkness was hype the fuck up, and I don't know why people even talk about it. And I watch Mouth of Madness without any hype, only did because it was part of the Apocalypse Trilogy and was blowing away.
Thing still best tho
Imagine being John Carpenter
