It plays like a lecture. It is, in fact, the whole horror film in miniature. John Carpenter&rsquo;s strangest picture is the one where the seminar and the séance turn out to be describing the same thing, and where the Devil finally shows up wearing the equations of quantum mechanics.</p>Fri, 12 Jun 2026 08:00:00 +0000
