Query: It's About Time for MGM to rediscover this Gem!

I have to admit, I like this film even better than Halloween. A tight script and worthy cast are both good for starters. Most of all, however, it is the absolutely superb photography and atmosphere (courtesy of Director Carpenter and his wonderful Director of Photography)that makes this one a classic. Most all of the performances are good--particularly Hal Holbrook and Janet Leigh. Only drawback is Adriene Barbeau as the heroine, who presumably got this role in true Sondra Locke-like fashion from then director/hubby Carpenter. I've never seen her give an unaffected, unmannered performance, including this one. Jamie Lee Curtis, from Carpenter's earlier Halloween and here relegated to a supporting role, would have been much better in the lead.
