Lots of films worth watching by Carpenter. Prince of Darkness is great. Pretty much every scene is a winner, with a good central theme, and the excellent cast of characters really brings things to life. Christine is a lot of fun to watch, with plenty of good stuff...plus the pretty 80s girls. My Soul To Take is underrated, definitely. Lots of good dialogue, vivid characters too, but the pacing has problems. Ghosts of Mars was pretty average, with certain plot elements that went nowhere, and violence that was meant to be scary or exciting, but was sometimes more funny than anything else. They Live is pretty overrated. So many boring scenes, especially with the really slow early stuff. The main plot element isn't introduced until maybe halfway through. The sad thing is, the plot device is really cool, and pretty accurate. The other films have their ups and downs. I think the best is probably Prince of Darkness, though.
