The_Inverted_Necroyeti

I won't write again what has been written by other reviewers, other than this is a very silly film, stuck somewhere between the uninentionally bad and the tongue in cheek. Every time I saw the radioactive mutant (a small-scale bigfoot that seemingly loves 80s rock music) I laughed my head off, and generally struggled to keep my face straight for an hour and a half. The acting, costumes, make-up, music contribute, to various extents, to the high level of silliness throughout the film. This is well-worth watching after a few drinks/jays. For those who like this, check out The Ice Pirates or Hell Comes to Frogtown. Both are in a similar vein, but not as as bad as America 3000.

Most the Masters of Horror series has so far (almost finished S1) as been short of a disappointment (Don Coscarelli and Tobe Hooper managed to do some nice stuff though). I flicked on this "episode", not knowing what or which director to expect. When I saw it was by Carpenter, I thought "get in!". One of the big names of horror and one of my favorite directors, so I knew I was on to something... I'm not going to tell you about it, just watch it if you want to see an incredibly deranging horror movie. There are some really sick and realistically gory parts though, so brace yourself. The plot is so solid it will glue your eyes to the screen - something that is so incredibly portrayed in this film. As far as the story goes, there would be a lot to right on this, because of the inventiveness and originality of Carpenter's approach. I'm struggling to find my words to write this, so the best thing for you to do is to go and watch it. Second in the series so far only to Takashi Miike's "Imprint", the new landmark in horror from one the very best living directors today.
