One of the best horror films ever.

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 1999)

This is, quite simply, one of the best horror films - ever. I can recall the first time I saw it, in 1985 or so, after it had come out on video. I was about 5 or 6 years old then. I had seen C.H.U.D., a couple of Nightmare on Elm Streets, and even a Friday the 13th or so, but not a single one of them had scared me. This film changed that (to this day). This is the only film to have put a little fright into me. Back when you had to think of special effect (instead of having one guy with a vivid imagination, and 124 computer geeks-like today) this film maximises a lot out of a little. A great story, good acting, and a satisfied customer - three things that rarely go together when discussing horror films.
