Viewing Notes

A Very Good Revisit™

I only recalled a few things as it’s been easily over 20 years since I’ve seen the movie. Kinda surprised this one hasn’t gotten any of the rep screenings like Vertigo and others. It’s a really good film that starts one way and finishes another.

Also, Suzanne Pleshette ... damn

I wish we got a button on that old lady who was “oh that would never happen. I’m an expert in ornithology so I would know!” At least a “hey lady I thought you said this couldn’t happen! What do you have to say now??”

Veronica Cartwright is the little girl! Maybe I knew this and forgot. Seeing her name in the credits here surprised me.

Including in my 31 Days of Horror since it wasn’t previously logged and it’s been so long since I’ve seen it that it was like viewing it (almost) for the first time.

Crossed off the list “101 Horror Movies You Must See Before You Die” woooooooo
