Prince of Darkness needs to be fully reevaluated as one of Carpenter's greatest films and a stone-cold horror classic.

I was utterly on the verge of spiraling… and then I heard about the news of Orphan 2, and now my depression is cured.
Esther left me absolutely wigless back in 2009, she was the talk of the school. Singlehandedly destroying the lives of everyone she came into contact with, convincing everyone’s she’s a literal child whilst simultaneously slaughtering nuns and setting fire to treehouses, all whilst slaying with those bows in her hair? That’s camp. That’s everything we want and need. Is there anyone who does it quite like her? I think not.

Esther called me ugly and asked me to murder an injured bird and I said "thank you."
A person giving opinions on horror who doesn't think John Carpenter, Wes Craven and George Romero have three classics? He has no clue.
To be fair, that's probably the only way to "win" the discussion, as the guy keeps using different types of arguments to prove how everyone else is wrong - Rotten Tomatoes scores (which is fair, since that's how he "proves" Peele is the best horror director of all time), personal opinions and "it's a trilogy so it only counts as one".
Jordan Peele has taste though!
Why do I get the feeling that guy hasn't seen many horrors, just the "popular" ones?
Hope the film is better than the terrible book. I hated the characters.

Same for me for the first two thirds (especially the lead), but they kinda 'made sense' come the end. I liked that they
each became a reflection of a genre archetype: The stoner, the jock, the scholar etc. That was pretty clever stuff.
Another short 'theatrical event'? That doesn't bode too well, but it looks better than the last one. Despite Salva's dodgy af past, he created a stunning film with the original.
I have come so close to watching the 3rd one so many times but could never pull the trigger. That trailer does seem a bit less SYFY original movie but I'm not sure. I do like that they appear to be emphasizing him in his "clothes" which has always been a super creepy villain look to me. Once we see the full creature it always becomes a bit hard to take seriously.

I enjoyed Bad Moon, having wanted to see it for years, but it's very short. I mean the werewolf and gore is good, it has Dennis in, and that opening is superb, but they could have padded it out with more of a chase at the end, and of course a couple more deaths here or there.
3/5 though.

The third one is mostly terrible, but it has moments.
Not one aspect of this looks good.
The movie itself is just ok minus how hot Michael Paré is (woof indeed) but it has my favorite practical werewolf of all time.
