Let me tell you something: you people are some lucky ducks. Tonight brings the last opportunity to see the last opportunity to see one of the best films of 2011 on a big screen before its DVD release next month.

You know who Lance Henrikson is. You may not recognize the name, but if you have watched movies or TV at any point in the last forty years, you have seen him. You may have seen him in small roles in films like “Network,” “Dog Day Afternoon,” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” You may have seen him play larger roles in several early James Cameron films: “Piranha 2,” for instance, or “Terminator,” in which he played Detective Hal Vukovich.

John Carpenter is without a doubt one of the most prolific names in the horror film genre. He got his start as a low-budget filmmaker with a vision, and eventually came to help redefine an entire genre with the iconic slasher flick “Halloween” (although, to be fair, he borrowed liberally from Bob Clark’s earlier “Black Christmas,” which actually pioneered the killer’s-eye-view technique that Carpenter gets all the credit for).
