Did you know
• Despite being a horror movie, John Carpenter stated on the audio commentary that he did this movie because it closely resembled a western to him.
• John Carpenter had a good working relationship with James Woods on set. Apparently Woods has a reputation for being difficult to work with, but Carpenter got along with him just fine. They had a deal: Carpenter could film one scene as it was written; the other Woods could improvise. Carpenter found to his delight that many of Woods' suggestions were brilliant.
• Bruce Campbell was Carpenter's first choice to play Montoya.

User reviews
Flawed, but fun
Very strong entertaining opening scenes
This movie lacks a certain "bite", but still is not bad.
