 | | Carpenter, in the past, has joking referred to this film as being the second part in an "apocalypse trilogy", the first part being The Thing and the third part being the later flawed, but enjoyable, In The Mouth of Madness. |
 | | The film has a great atmosphere from the start, with Carpenter employing his trademark use of low-frequency synthesisers on the soundtrack to accompany scenes of ants and insects gathering in the dirt and an army of homeless weirdoes congregating outside an abandoned church. |
 | | The first half of the film is spent enlisting and establishing the characters, which is a bit like The Magnificent Seven in some respects (hardly surprising, Carpenter being a big fan of westerns and all) before the second half begins, establishing the plot of the film, and the sense of impending doom. |
