• horror and sci-fi cinema

What it concludes

• Ghosts of Mars is ranked as the worst John Carpenter film at number 18 due to its bland space-zombie plot and bad editing.
• Dark Star is ruined by the studio adding 45 minutes of a bearded man chasing a beach ball.
• Escape from L.A. is placed at number 16 because of its weak tone, bad visual effects, and Kurt Russell's cynical performance.
• The 2005 remake of The Fog is considered one of the worst remakes ever.
• Prince of Darkness has an interesting atmosphere and score, but is dragged down by exposition and repetitive elements.
• Village of the Damned is a mediocre, forgetful remake that miscasts Christopher Reeve.
