評分和評論

This was a surprising delight. It's not exactly Shakespeare, so don't get your hopes too high. It's a very early 80s romp through horror. Make some popcorn and enjoy.

This movie is one of the best examples of tension building you'll ever see. It just piles on top of itself endlessly. It concludes to one single moment of relief at the end, finally satisfied just to know how it ends. It's like intimate cinematic sex.

John Carpenter & Debra Hill crafted one of the most effective & enduring chillers of all time. Relish the spooky fun charms of this gem, but stay clear of the boring, hollow remake.
