Bruce - it's interesting that when you've been working as long as we have, that some things catch up. There are a number of things over the years that werent successful then, that pop up now. Films made years ago that suddenly get attention now. There are a few that disappear and now rise from the dead, and it's kind of nice. Eventually, we'll all be cult status.
Story still works.
Some of the special effects are cheesy, but we had to make that up as we went along anyway. That's part of the charm though. They don't make styrofoam aliens like they used to. Or spaceships with flashlights taped on them. It's simple and affects everyone on a subconscious level.
