Viewing Notes
I’d never seen this remake/reimagining of the 1958 classic, and it was great to be introduced to it on the big screen for the first time. Better yet, it was followed by Q&A from director Chuck Russell, who was a great guy and had a lot of insight into the making of the movie.
The practical effects in this are amazing, considering the 4 million dollar budget!
This is really a different take on the original movie, and I liked the plot and how things played out a lot.
I remember seeing clips from this, and The Stuff, on USA’s Up All Night back in the ‘80s, so scenes here and there looked competely familiar.
It was a lot of fun!
