Pulp horror writer Sutter Cane has disappeared, and his readers are slowly going ape-shit; John Trent (Sam Neill) is drafted in to find an answer. His search leads him to a place called Hobb's End, a place that shouldn't exist.
Carpenter's most fantastical film is a blast of pure entertainment from start to finish. It’s the bastard child of a Lovecraft demon and a Stephen King protagonist running naked through film conventions in a loving homage wed to an astute parody of the horror genre as a whole. Sam Neill is fantastic, as always. My only criticism is that it should've been longer.
