    A Benchmark Text on the Subject
  

*by P***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 29, 2022*

This book isn't the most exhaustive treatise on Carpenter (see Troy Howarth's "Assault on the System"), and neither is it the most interesting (see Gilles Boulenger's "John Carpenter: Prince of Darkness"; or Conrich and Woods' "The Cinema of John Carpenter"; or Robert Cumbow's "Order in the Universe"); but regardless, Muir's material is outstanding and should be considered a benchmark text on the subject. Every Carpenter student needs to have a copy of this title on their shelf.

    Essential for fans of John Carpenter
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 20, 2013*

John Carpenter is an underrated film director. In this overview of Carpenter's work (which ends with 1998's Vampires), Muir defends a director he obviously admires as much as I do while still pointing out some flaws in some of his films. In particular, Carpenter's 1990s films are weaker than many of his 1980s films and that may have to do with some bitterness and anger that the director felt towards film critics and movie executives in his own country. The French view him as an auteur, but Hollywood views him as a hack. Some of these reviews appear in part (or in whole) in other critiques that Muir has published but generally the book is essential for genre fans who appreciate Carpenter's work.
