Viewing Notes

I’ve been wanting to revisit this and at the same time have been putting off buying the Arrow Films Blu-ray til it went on sale. Finally found it marked way down so here we are.

Not as good as I recalled but still very enjoyable. Dee Wallace had less screen time than I recalled but still great to see her in this role. Her performance stands out as it feels natural and not forced.

Now I need to rewatch the remake, and then watch the original sequel.
