Only one real complaint...


The movie is a tad too short.

reply

I agree,I didn't want it to end.

reply

How long is it?

reply

87mins

reply

I think an hour and a half is pretty standard for a horror flick

reply

I think because the film is entertaining it goes by fast.

I loved this movie too. Scared the crap out of me as a kid. As I got older I learned to appreciate the comedy of the writing. If you thought it was too short good thing they made like 14 sequels. :)

reply

Haha yes that's true, although i prefer the original over sequels.

reply

Me too. I re-watch what I call the original 3 every Halloween and every time I do i seem to learn a little something or pick up on a joke I didn't get before. Watching it as a kid and as an adult (sometimes whilst drunk) :) is like watching two separate movies

I love that scene when Chucky is sitting on the sofa and Karen realises the batteries are still in the box, creepy.

reply

Yes me too. Or when Andy realizes the doll is possessed and starts punching him

reply

Poor Maggie,that scene scared me as a kid.

reply

Me too. What other movies scared the crap out of you as a kid?

The original Poltergeist really freaked me out.

reply

The Entity,you don't see anything but the psychological aspect is scary.

reply

Yes. That one was awesome.

Se7en and Arachnophobia (I had a huge fear of spiders) also scared the crap outta me.

reply

Remember spiders kill flies who are disease carriers so give the little guys a break,lol. (I use to be scared too)

reply

I agree. I love spiders now. I have a few that live on my balcony outside. Never had a wasp or a bug or even a mosquito because of those guys. One time they kept a whole wasps nest from being built in my garage!

reply

The more i learn the less im scared.

reply

Spider friends
