what’s baffling is that in-between these two there were Masters of Horror episodes which were actually fine mid-tier Carpenter romps. Cigarette Burns got that wacky lost film premise and Pro-Life is basically Carpenter’s take on Rosemary’s Baby.
I think The Ward seems worse to me because of the expectation that Carpenter got his mojo back instead of accepting that he is washed and that it happens to your favorites too.
I cannot disagree with any of that :) They both make me sad. I’m gonna go watch Prince of Darkness now and make myself feel better.
yeah, that might suffice.
