The Film: The third chunk of the Apocalypse Trilogy finds Sam Neil as an insurance investigator who discovers that a missing horror writer's work might be a little too real for anyone's tastes.

It's freakish and frightening, not to mention brain-twisting.

Carpenter Chats: "Our hero ends up in an insane asylum questioning his sanity," Carpenter says.

"That's the whole point of the picture, although it can also be looked at in a number of other ways. It's a horror adventure, about discovering this evil force that's taking over the world.

"But it can also be seen as a classic 'Am I crazy or not?' story. You have to kind of decide for yourself, when you see the film, if he's crazy. I don't think he is. I think it's all real."

Remade? Nothing as of yet.
