This movie seems to use the oldie but goodie... Build up the main villain till the climax at the end... To it's best attribute. Another wonderful John carpenter film that strikes a ghostly fear into whoever watches this. Predates the thing, but is a definite effects improvement over Halloween. The practical effects look better than the cheezy, poorly made shallow 2005 remake. This movie is great, and even better when keeping in mind the 1980 release and how bad all other movie effects we're then! 👍
