Village of the Damned - I saw this shortly after it came out on video and it barely registered with me. I don't recall hating it or anything, it just exists and paying any attention to it seems optional.
Vampires - I hated what I saw of this, which was about half. It didn't even feel like a John Carpenter movie. It felt like some terrible 90's television show about vampire hunters. I'm almost surprised the cast of Dawson's Creek didn't make an appearance in it. As for Woods, I agree wholeheartedly both with the fact that he is a disgusting pig of a person, but one of the most magnetic screen presences of the 80's. I love him as an actor as much as I hate him as a human being.
Ghosts of Mars - I didn't think this is quite as bad as most people say. It's just really bad, not the end of the world. While I was watching it, I felt John Carpenter almost didn't want people to like it. It feels intentionally boring. It is also incredibly ugly to look at. But I did sort of like some of the ideas in it. I think if he had made this concept into a movie during the early to mid 80's, it would probably have been a mid tier Carpenter. As it is, having made it when his soul had already turned to dust, it is one of his worst.
The Ward - Haven't seen it.
