You know, John Carpenter is my all time favorite director. So don't get me wrong when I say that Vampires, was the end of Carpenter's run of consistantly good movies. Back in the late 70s, 80s, and early 90s, he couldn't be touched. He was awesome. But starting with Vampires, his movies have gone downhill. Ghosts of Mars was one of the worst films I have ever seen, and coming from my favorite director, I was disapointed to say the least. The fades, transitions, and the acting were not up to par with his earlier work. Therefore, I hope he can make a comeback with the much anticipated Escape from Earth!
