Order in the Universe: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Order in the Universe" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

An obscure independent filmmaker until Halloween (1978), John Carpenter has been applauded for his classic sense of compositions, yet reviled for his B-film sensibility. This second edition of the first book-length analysis finds in Carpenters films a vision of a profound but unexpected order in the universe. The author analyzes Carpenters early independent work, his made-for-television movies, his big Hollywood films (The Fog, Escape from New York, The Thing, Stephen Kings Christine, Starman), his more recent independent work (Big Trouble in Little China, Prince of Darkness, They Live), and his contributions to films he did not direct. This edition fully updates the 1990 edition with attention to the films made since that date. With a chronology of Carpenters career, a detailed filmography, photos, brief plot synopses, and a thorough index, this volume will be treasured by film scholars and fans alike.
