Like a nightmare that stays with me all day!

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2005)

This film is one of only a few that haunts me for a time after viewing. The Towering Inferno did it to me. I was haunted by the image of Robert Wagner stumbling through his office, a hundred stories up, burning; his head covered with a wet towel, blinded by flame and smoke. I had to go back and watch the film again to see that the stunt guy was in a flame retardant suit with a tuxedo over it. It actually took about 4 viewings to pull out the special effects enough so that I could sleep at night.
War of the Worlds did that for me yesterday.
A real thriller. Worthy of both Wells.
I am going back to see it again tomorrow.
