Movies with Ajax Green

A seaside hamlet is besieged by ghost lepers. Have you heard of this guy John Carpenter? He is really good at movies. This tale is silly and ultimately unsatisfying (there’s just not enough hook impalings!) but it also works well because of fun actors, locations, music, and whatnot.

Sam Neill plays Paul Reiser, the company man who built a spaceship called “Event Horizon” (where some rooms […]
