Hey now, Sutter Cane is one of those writers where everybody is reading his stuff. In fact, they're mad about his stuff. So mad they're going absolutely berserk. And it seems he's disappeared, so along comes insurance investigator (Sam Neill) to find out where he's gone. This is one of those "life imitates art" (or something like that) kind of flicks, as whole scenes from Cane's novels seem to be coming true, including the small town of Hobb's End where folks ain't what they seem. This has plenty of weird and creepy stuff, including a bunch of eerie little kids running around, and nasty things tucked away in basements and such. A lot of this is borderline Lovecraft kind of stuff, and the more Trent (Neill) and Styles (Julie Carmen) dig, the more weird this gets. Any scene where a human body moves in an unnatural way gives me the creeps so when Styles walks backwards on her hands and feet with her head turned around it was quite satisfying, in a creepy kind of way, of course. OK, so there may be a plot hole or two, but hey, this is a horror movie, OK? I think this is one of my all time favorite Carpenter flicks, although some may not agree. 8 out of 10 stars, fer shure.
