Underrated...Also - 'Small Soldiers' anyone?
First of all; I hadn't seen this since I rented it in '91.
After watching the DVD, I again really found this to be an underrated flick. I mean really underrated.
Compared to the straight to video stuff of this timeframe (when even those movies had fairly high production value) - this one, I felt, really delivered some good stuff. Can't understand the low rating.
Question though - as Joe Dante's career has slipped downhill (anyone see his angry "Masters of Horror" diatribe?) - I have to wonder. "Small Soldiers" had a LOT in common with this. Especially the army-men scene.
Anyone else agree?
Now - if only they'd do a 2 film release of "The Curse" 3+4 so I can finish my horror franchise collection from this period. I had to order from Europe to get "Ghoulies Go To College".
Damn. I feel like I'm living in an 80's video store - updated :-)
