is this like, one of the most underrated movies of all time?


it's so good and yet so obscure, it's cult film that lacks an actual cult

It's an interesting film for sure. It's certainly creative, and in other parts just ridiculous, with patricia and johnny.

Got a bit tedious in the latter part, however it's ok film.

And even Peter Jackson makes a cameo appearance.

The poster makes it way more scarier than it actually is.

I always enjoy watching this film.

Me too. Was working at a theatre when this came out and my shift usually ended about 20 minutes into this film, so I'd go plunk myself down in a seat and wait for my boyfriend, who was usually closing. I have it on DVD as well. I think it's just a fun film.

it should be mentioned more when people talk about beetlejuice, poltergeist(s) and ghostbusters and other fun ghost movies.

the most underrated movie is probably spaced invaders.

Jackson's early films are pure gold.
