Why John Carpenter Is the Most Underrated Filmmaker Of Our Time



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.
