Maybe it is a cult classic but that does not stop the movie from sucking horribly. I didn't know what to expect from this movie. I was told "hey this is a messed up movie". With that tidbit of information i sat down to watch it. The end result was that i was so angry that i just watched that movie. Even more angry that my friend did not warn me of the pure stupidity of this film. I am not sure if it was all of the terrible musical numbers or the fact that i can not stand wimps and losers, but somewhere along this mess of a movie i was finding myself searching for something to end my life with. Another thing, why don't the cops carry guns? Watch it ... laugh ... and then cry for wasting your time.

Leave it to John Carpenter to take an hour and make it seem like fifteen minutes. I was so absorbed into Cigarette Burns that the time flew by and i was left with the distinctive feeling that horror is NOT dead. This hour long story has everything from great splatter to solid storyline to good acting. This movie hit the bullseye over and over again. We should give the reigns of the horror movie field over to mister Carpenter and just let him run. I have seen so many crap horror movies lately (mostly lions gate films) that even the smallest hint of talent seems so wonderful. Masters of Horror, i thank you for keeping the nightmares alive.

Stuart Gordon put this hour of horror into a fine piece of work. A little disappointed with the finish but hey Lovecraft stories are always strange. Some decent splatter and gore here too. The wrist wounds were a bit much considering what caused them. The witch looked very demonic and spooky which added more flavor to the already catchy film. It is a good concept of a movie which was delivered exceptionally well though the eyes of a Lovecraft patron, Gordon. I commend the masters of horror for seeking out the true masters of horror and letting them shine. We all need a breath of fresh air in the horror genre.
