Why John Carpenter Is the Most Underrated Filmmaker Of Our Time
Most of Carpenter's films are now available on DVD and streaming platforms.
About a decade ago while I was attending the Vancouver International Film Festival, I ended the screening day over beers with a small group of critics. By the end of the evening, we came around to proclaiming John Carpenter the most underrated American filmmaker of our time. Here's a filmmaker who has made only one feature in the past decade, the low-budget "The Ward," yet his legacy is getting more respect than ever -- at least on home video. In 2013 alone, he's had six films debut on Blu-ray and one remastered in a gorgeous new edition, reason enough to revisit his legacy.
