Arthur Malet
Reviews Featuring Arthur Malet
A terrifically-written and well-observed parody of practically every Frankenstein flick ever made. One of Mel Brooks' best.
Where many of its nastier, bloodier copycats have long since been carved and diced from our memory, John Carpenter's low-budget, genre-defining excursion into the slasher film's virgin territories is still very much alive and freshly frightening today. A monument to Hitchcockian suspense, it brings terror out of the gothic castle and into the suburban streets and homes where it belongs. A classic slicing of American life.
If Poppers herself was to describe the film, shed probably call it practically perfect in every way. They dont get much more timeless than this.
