Directed by John Carpenter
Slow, atmospheric and unique, this ghost story from John Carpenter does a great job at building tension using a strange scare device without ever seeming silly or gimmicky. Though it doesn't match the quality or effectiveness of his other horror classics, Halloween or The Thing, I find that an unfair comparison seeing as how both of those movies are absolutely amazing. But for a simple '80s ghost story, this movie delivers some chills and, as a rarity for horror, actually improves on repeat viewings -- at least, it did in my case.
★★★★★★★☆☆☆
