In the Mouth of Madness (1994) - 4.5/5
Could have sworn I’ve seen this before but literally nothing rang a bell. Either way though this was fantastic. Right up my alley with the bizarre dreamlike nature of which it plays out. Can see this sky rocketing up my favorites list after a rewatch or two.
The Fog (1980) - 4.5/5
Atmosphere, atmosphere, atmosphere! In my opinion the best lighting in a carpenter flick not titled Halloween too. Great cast. Just a gorgeous film from top to bottom and one of Carpenter’s absolute best.
Escape from New York (1981) - 4/5
Kurt Russell is a certified badass here. Watching him navigate through a ravaged New York City is a blast. One scene in particular, when the dwellers were coming up from the sewers made me feel as if I was in a straight up zombie flick for a minute! Very fun genre bending offering from carpenter here and can totally see why it’s up there on so many best of lists.
Hungry Wives (1972) - 3/5
Very early Romero where for me I felt there was a ton of build up that doesn’t pay off well. It takes forever for our lead to become a witch and even when she does, not much happens. Just wasn’t what I was expecting I guess. Nevertheless this was a treat to watch Romero experiment with his craft at a very early stage in his career. He does a great job with dream sequences here as well.
