The Mutantville Players are off at the Fright Night Film Fest in Kentucky so we thought that we would share the fun by watching one of John Carpenter’s recent directorial releases – Cigarette Burns. Unfortunately this wasn’t a theatrical release but it was a part of the Masters of Horror experiment on Showtime. The good news is that John Carpenter was given free reign to create whatever he wanted.
What he came up with was a tale of a man on the brink of madness searching for a movie that contained the secrets to life and death. Sounds pretty cool, huh? Well it is.
Of all the directors on the Masters of Horror – John Carpenter was the one who wore the title like a boss. Cigarette Burns has everything from graphic violence to surrealist cosmic horror. It’s all that and a bloody bag of chips and quite simply everything that a horror fan could ask for.
So what are you waiting for? It’s the weekend. You can watch John Carpenter’s Cigarette Burns online for free – right now! It’s Scary Movie Saturday!
