Like DUH, it WAS in the 80's

Rating: 9/10 (13 March 2003)

This comment is in response to some of the people who thought the movie failed or was in some way lacking because it had an 80's vibe. All I have to say is, the movie WAS SUPPOSED to look 80's, use 80's music, and have an 80's vibe because it takes place in the 80's. If any of you paid attention, you would have picked up on this during the various references to Dukakis running for president! But hey, hardly any of us ever pay attention to presidential politics anyway, right. I mean, one of the smallest percentages of the population in election history managed to get off their butts and vote in the last election so I should expect such oversights. Geeze, more people need to vote.
Anyhow.
History lessons aside, I heard a lot of good things about this movie. So I rented it on DVD and was happy to say that it lived up to its reputation. Its more of a sci-fi thriller with non-linear story telling than a horror flick. Although, it is definitely spooky enough to make you want to sleep with the night light on.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes dark films that make you think.
