I am not sure why, but this is the first time I had ever seen this (thanks, Shudder!). It was an interesting watch and the overall plot was good. Loved the actors from that era - the older films are often my favorite. My biggest challenge, and perhaps it is personal, is with Drew or her character. In general, I really don't like kids, except in horror movies, and in this one, the child was too whiny for my taste. That said, I'm looking forward to checking out the Firestarter series here on Shudder which is also new to me. I can have some cheese with my wine. Or whine.
Odd thing to say, but a great kids' horror movie. When I was young and saw this for the first time, I just had tears of fury. DESTROY.
Good movie with an awesome soundtrack.
don't forget about land lingig the kitchen scream
love
