Unmatched horror goodness...

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 2011)

Wow. Where do i start? This movie achieves the rare distinction of being a scary, well executed horror film that is also loved by film buffs who normally don't watch those films. Great set up, story, effects and the grooviest "ten-little-indians" thriller i've seen since forever. I just re-watched it in hi-def recently & it still is a gripping masterpiece. I'm finding it hard to believe this film bombed at the cinemas back in '82- what the hell was wrong with people back then? Fortunately it has now achieved the cult/legendary status it deserves. Simply one of the best horror films of all time. Also props must be given to Rob Bottin and his clever use of practical effects. These effects are sooooo much more devastating then todays CG-tastic horrors- they should be more prevalent. Word up
