Viewing Notes
Haven’t seen this since it was released on VHS and we rented it. So it’s been 35+ years and I had forgotten most of it (wasn’t really a fan of it then so was never keen to revisit). Since it’s in theaters for the 40th anniversary I figured it was the perfect opportunity to give it another go. Definitely has its moments (especially when Zelda enters the film) but I’m still not crazy about this movie.
I just don’t understand why this family wants to stay in the house. Sure they want to get their daughter back but do they need to stay living in the house? Then they remain in the house after all that! Why?! Like get into a hotel or stay with friend already.
It’s weird that’s there’s so many Star Wars crap in this film. Like so much! It’s like the product placement promoting the SW films.
