By every single measurable parameter, I would consider this a very small film but I’m apprehensive to call it that.

Because behind all the things by which we would measure this film’s size, is its tremendous heart. There is a very clear love for film and storytelling here that fills every shot with a huge amount of passion.

This one caught me completely off guard. I’d never heard of this film. I saw the thumbnail, hit play, and went in completely blind. Less than two minutes later and I was clutching a first class ticket for the gore train straight to hell.

And what a fantastically wild and nasty ride, it was too.

When this movie came out I was working in a Hollywood Video. See kids, back in the day we used to have these stores…

This is a tough watch for me. I’ve been putting it off for nearly a decade at this point. The original film came out the year I was born and was my first ever horror movie. I adore it and firmly believe that it still holds up really well against modern cinema. Toby Hooper was a legend.

This movie’s ineptitude is no one’s fault, except maybe whoever greenlit it. All the ingredients are in their own right fantastic...

I saw this years ago when it first came out. That was the year my youngest high schooler was born, if that says anything. I remember hating it at the time, but I think my critical brain is much less rigid than it was then. All ties to the Warren’s bullshit aside...
