Viewing Notes
An unseen Tobe Hooper for #HoopTober (which I’m not really participating in but I’m hitting most of the qualifiers). This would be a GREAT movie for one of the 24hr marathons. Terrific performance by Brad Dourif in an entertaining film that fits right in with the type of films of that time. It’s almost like tongue-in-cheek with how much it feels like other films from this period. I wasn’t really aware of this movie until I saw the Tobe tribute video at Box of Horrors. Knew I had to track it down. Surprised Scream Factory hasn’t released this already. Perfect title for them.
