A film that's 37 years old AND it shows its age ...

Rating: 2/10 (22 November 2010)

This was a film I saw in the 70s, probably just after it was released. I do remember being terrified by it then, but I was a teenager.
Then a few years ago, a friend of mine and I went to see its re-screening. Bad mistake. This time round I found it lacklustre, tedious, unbelievable and at time just plain risible. I mean, walking down stairs on your back with your arms twisted behind you?? What was the director thinking. No wonder that was cut from the first version, pure stupidity.
This is a bore, don't waste your time seeing it: I will suggest "the Thing" from 1982. At least it's mildly believable.
