Newly released on DVD in the US; just stay far away from it.

I usually give plenty of room for stupidity in horror films; I'll settle for nearly anything remotely suspenseful, supernatural, spooky, or even just a vaguely interesting concept. This one simply stank. I knew there was trouble when Sara's "best friend" in college, who had considerable screen time, wasn't even listed in the credits on IMDb! I wasn't surprised not recognizing any actors, but that character ("Daysha" or "Day-Glo" or whatever her name was) apparently didn't even exist!

I'm so embarrassed that I actually paid a rental fee for this garbage; deeply, deeply ashamed...

When I'm watching a good "creep" flick, I have a certain posture in my movie-watching chair: leaning forward, fists clenched, eyes sorta bugged out of my head, trying hard not to miss even a second of dialogue...I never left that position throughout this entire movie! I can't believe I never heard of its release...

Don't care what you read here: if you love the supernatural/suspense genre, see this flick immediately. I don't usually gush over silly horror movies, but BOY did this satisfy. I'm probably gonna have to buy it (and I'm really old!) Can't recommend enough...gawd, that DVD loop is still blasting through my speakers, and still giving me the total creeps...SEVEN THUMBS UP!!!! (I'm from Uranus)...

As an offering on AMC's Friday Fright Night, this film hardly qualified, other than being frightfully nostalgic and silly...but after ample quantities of Labatts and Yukon Jack, I thought this flick was big fun.

Okay, so that ukelele should've been broken over the dude's head the minute he started strumming it; so his crippled yet perky little sister was badly in need of an upper-lip wax; and I won't even reference the titular monster, as it's been commented on ad infinitum...

This is classic "ancient" cinema, the stuff your parents were supposed to be watching while they steamed up the windows in the back seat of your daddy's Plymouth; and I still think it beats the CGI "blockbusters" being pooped out of Hollywood every year.

To paraphrase Geena Davis in that remake of another cheesy sci-fi flick: "Be drunk...Be VERY drunk!" Highly recommended at 4 in the morning...
