The plot was eccentrically unique. The writing and screenplay meshed all the way through the movie. John carpenter's a visionary. The horror movies of today can't even lick the feet of this movie and other great story driven movies from that era. They could learn so many lessons from it. Like how to tell an original story. Like just because you have a big budget and a huge ad campaign doesn't mean it's going to be any good. How to sequence without producing a plot that has so many holes that it would make a brick of swiss cheese look solid. How jump scares are only needed when necessary. Finally how not to make a movie that is pretentious and over bearing.
