Scared the s*** out of me

Rating: 9/10 (21 April 2000)

I first saw this movie on a crowded flight with one of those tiny little four-inch LCD screens. Even under those reassuring circumstances I was completely sucked in and freaked out. I've rented this gem twice since and I've managed to scare friends who claim never to be phased by horror movies. I reckon the commentators who call this movie boring are just acting tough. I bet when you go to bed at night you can still see that image of the demonic Dr. Weir in your head, intoning that where you're going, you won't need eyes to see, and you wake up whimpering in a pool of your own urine. By the way, I see the IMDB recommendations engine advises people who enjoy this movie to go see Contact. Ha ha! What next, a link to Bambi from the Exorcist?!
