This Movie has a certain claustrophibic impact and reaches into our mind to touch on ancient memories of Ghosts in the closet and Something under the bed...Mommy? This features well crafted scenes and lighting, anyone into Horror will like this even though the horror is induced slowly and evenly. This is a modern urban myth brought to life! Eeeeeeeek.

Excellent horror film, even by today's standards (maybe better because of this!) I am also surprised with the poor film quality of this DVD. Absolutely watchable, don't get me wrong, it's just that this great film deserves to be remastered.

Steven Spielberg should be ashamed to have one of his best movies released on this poor quality DVD. The film transfer to DVD is horrible. There's so much dirt and grain it's like I was watching a film from the 50's and the resolution is only VHS quality. I don't understand how one of the most popular scary movies ever, and trust me I remember how popular it was when it was released in the theater, can get such a cold shoulder. The 25th Anniversary Edition has been sitting in my queue since October. What's going on Blockbuster?

Interesting movie, some sweet ideas but into it what let me down was the characters who ever wrote the script made the family too disorganized. The story in the middle got a little boring but than it picked up in the end. Considered a classic, maybe worth a watch.
