Since it’s Hallowe’en, we thought we’d treat you to a Mash-Up courtesy of the acclaimed master of horror – John Carpenter himself. See if you can deduce which of his films provided the raw materials for tonight’s hellish creature… just make sure you check under your bed before you go to sleep…
In Time is any studio exec’s dream. High-concept but easily simplified sci-fi, PLUS a distinctly un-futuristic set with just one really memorable visual tag which can be dragged out for all the posters, PLUS a plot point which means you can literally cast Olivia Wilde as Justin Timberlake’s mum?

Yet another director proves to have too many braiiiinsssss to stick with the project…
