I agree about comparisons to Carpenter's film being inevitable. I saw it for the first time a couple of months ago so it's still really fresh in my mind.<br /><br />It's an interesting point your wife made. I think what really dates a film - apart from technology that is featured - is clothing. Something like The Breakfast Club is very, very dated because of what they're wearing!<br /><br />I'll let you know if I end up watching this :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801517398375131221.post-26836614649104206292011-12-10T23:03:16.735+00:002011-12-10T23:03:16.735+00:00Cheers Nebular, I agree.

Most of the review that I have since read seeing it think the same; not as good as JC's 1982 film but better than anyone expected, pretty tense and made with respect to the previous version.filmrrusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08242906606942840491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801517398375131221.post-25472935659942274812011-12-10T19:09:24.742+00:002011-12-10T19:09:24.742+00:00Gk\lad you enjoyed it, Russ.
