My rating: 7.5/10
Will I watch it again? Yes.
It surprises me constantly how long I go missing movies I should've seen in my youth. This is a prime example. I remember seeing the VHS cover in the video stores all throughout the 80s and not once did I even pick it up. It was a badass cover but I was always sure that the movie couldn't possibly live up to it. Well, it does. It's a great horror/thriller. Good performaces (great cast) and the mystery stays that way until the filmmakers want you to know. I'm cool with that. Good score, too and I love the late 70s/early 80s horror look. It's a really well made horror flick. I just wish I'd seen it sooner. Someday I'll pick up the Blue Underground Blu-ray.
