"Cigarette Burns" is a wonderful tale from John Carpenter that was a delight to watch.
This "Masters of Horror" episode is dark and grim. It's both surreal and frighteningly real, like a bad nightmare. There are images contained in this hour of television that are original and shocking.
Carpenter's touches are filled with a wicked sense of humour. For those cynics who state that this master has lost his earlier powers of film-making, watch this episode! Udo Kier is creepy as hell in this tale and Norman Reedus is gripping as the lead character.
Surprisingly violent and challenging, "Cigarette Burns" is a very strong entry in the "Masters of Horror" series.
