Rita Volk in John Carpenter: Christine (2017)
In October 2018, several filmmakers were added to the Oxford English Dictionary in adjective form. Somehow, John Carpenter wasn't one of them. Today, we'll travel "Through the Lens" to define John Carpenter's style and influence, to define Carpenteresque, and why the term belongs in the dictionary.

    This is everything it needs to be! Just a short ode to an era, and also summing up the recent synthwave/retrowave music scene which throws back to the nostalgic 80's when the original book was released. Like the music genre this short piece from Carpenter leaves everything to the imagination giving you just enough to create your own world based on just a couple of shots on screen and the small elements the music provides is just enough giving the perfect nod to the book and the perfect 80's horror genre with a modern look. Would love to see Christine re-made with a score from the current retrowave music scene
