Luke Skywalker, Superman, a barmaid from Cheers, the excellent Carpenter and Wyndham and the guy most commonly credited with the genesis of heavy metal music?

A: an incredibly amateurish but entertaining B-movie

I knew it wasn't a classic but at least expected some musical uniqueness with a collaboration between Carpenter and Davies, but only the closing credits packs any sort of punch.

5/10

Have you seen the originals?

Alas not, and I now know the original is meant to be a lot better.

Yes, and the sequel 'Children of the Damned' wasn't as good but still better than this remake.

Thanks. Alas I am in Europe and my channel of choice for accessing old films changed to show only Christmas films instead on that most festive of dates, the 1st of September. Probably not a bad thing as I have a huge backlog of oldies to watch.

Sorry, you can't access that channel, if you don't mind me asking where in Europe?

I love Christmas movies (not all, I have some favs) & I have been watching a few the last couple of weeks.

JOHN CARPENTER remade this? Wow! Sounds promising.
