John Carpenter is pretty well known for being fine with sitting back and letting the money flow in. A great director for sure, and I believe he puts a lot into a film when he's behind the camera, but as an executive producer I can't see him caring one way or another about the integrity of the film or whatever as long as it makes him money. Plus, I'm not really a fan of the Blumhouse movies, so this pairing does nothing for me.
And I know someone will say "quit whining," but I'm really not whining. I find this whole thing ho-hum at best and don't believe it could be any worse than the Rob Zombie movies anyway. I'd sum up my reaction to this as shocked malaise: I'm surprised I couldn't care less.
