Viewing Notes

Another 80s horror flick that eluded me. Seems to be on par with other horror films of its time period (House, Fright Night, etc.). Has that kind of tone where you think it’s a comedy but it’s really not. Nice practical FX. Dream sequence is the best thing in the whole movie. It’s a good spin on the mythology and Busey is great.

Why was Corey Haim so much better when he was a child?
R.I.P. buddy.
