My rating: 8/10
Will I watch it again? Yes.
Man, it's been a long, long time since I saw this - probably more than 20 years ago. I'd forgotten how grim it is. I can do without the cuteness of those little teddy bear fuckers but I can forgive that a little because of all the harsh shit that follows it. The deaths all around are great, the special effects are a hoot and Jerry Goldsmith's score is fantastic and fun. It's probably been about as long since I saw the sequel and I'm going to have to add that one to the list pretty soon. I hope it holds up as well as this did although I'm not overly optimistic.
