Viewing Notes

For my 90s rewatch project. Definitely have not seen this since it was in theaters. It terrified me then and it’s still effective now. Over the years I had the notion this was aimed at kids however that is not true. This is a full-on horror movie. Sure it has a few comedy beats but so many people die. Holds up so well too.
