Great Horror Movie

Rating: 7/10 (27 January 2003)

This is one of the classic horror films ever, not only of the '80's. The effects were second to none, and the movie is damn scarey. To have a film this good done on a shoe string budget in the early '80's is pretty damn good. This is one that you should watch if you are a horror movie buff. I will have to admit, the first time I saw this (1985), I couldn't sleep well that night. This is one that all horror films should be judged by. I have seen way worse so called horror movies made on a much larger budget that just really sucked!!! Word to the wise here, do not rent the sequels, they are horrible, not scarey at all. They turned this classic into a comedy in the sequels. Ain't that a shame!
