OK, I know this isn't a new movie, but it was recently re-released after being converted to a digital presentation.
John Carpenter classic 80's SciFi horror is given a digital make over and not in the George Lucas/Star Wars kind, where everything is replaced for sparkly new graphics, which don't fit the original...Nothing so crude. This is simply a conversion to digital.
The movie looks better than ever, crisp colours and in crystal clear HD. Unlike many 80's SciFi movies this has stood the test of time. This is due to the lack of CGI for the alien effects. Carpenters insistence on using prosthetics and live effects makes this a genuine classic.
Even if you don't get a chance to see the new digital version, make sure you watch this movie again soon.
8/10
