Review of Prince of Darkness (1987) by Jean-Philippe T — 22 Sep 2007

Greatly underrated. One of Carpenter's best! Well they are almost all best's if you ask me.

Prince of Darkness is another excellent fright fest from the master of horror which was unfairly nailed by critics and audience when first came out.Just like some other Carpenter masterpieces like the Thing and The fog;Prince of Darkness became a cult classic couple of years after it's release.The movie's by far the most intellectual effort of Carpenter.

The mood is set right and thru out the film you are feeling this eerie impression, the constant music provided by Carpenter as also a great impact.
