Rating: 3.0
ADMIRABLE AND ORIGINAL, BUT PRETTY TAME... EVEN IN IT'S DAY!
I saw this film only a few years after it was released in theaters. I was not all that impressed, but over the years I've seen it many times and although I find the story very interesting and the film brave for doing a totally different kind of horror film, I never found this film to be all that frightening. It's bizarre, yes!, but the effects are dated and even though the story holds your interest, it moves a little too slowly and could have used a couple of good scares. I guess what is frightening to some will not be to others. I'm not knocking anyone for loving this film, but I think it's only fair to point out that this film isn't the kind of "scary" that younger movie fans may appreciate. I prefer films like 'The Exorcist' to this film, but it's not without it's merits. It's well over two hours long with very little action and it did hold my interest even though I wanted it to be more intense.
