is John Carpenter influential?
>>71260783
He is, but for all the wrong reasons.
It's not his style or techniques, but the general content of his films that is imitated.
Yes. The market was flooded with slasher films after he made Halloween, which was one of the most profitable films in history based on ROI. Even though he pretty much copied Black Christmas, his film still set the bar for every slasher film afterwards.

What? He's objectively very influential. Countless films have blatantly ripped off Halloween.
halloween was definitely one of the earliest to adopt all those american horror tropes, but i think its a shitty movie exactly for that reason.
Its just like a shitty horror movie that showed people how to make shitty horror movies.
The Thing will always be his masterpiece
>>71260783

>>71260783
Yeah, more than you'll ever know if you have to ask

Fuck halloween, they ripped off the mask from the real masterpiece

not nice desu

>Halloween
>shitty
It has an amazing atmosphere. Countless shitty horror movies ripped off the basic concepts of Halloween but very few recreated the suspense filled atmosphere that Halloween had. Most of the ripoffs cared more about titties and gore than tension.

This used to be true but over the last years a bunch of new filmmakers have been imitating Carpenter's style.
