Kenneth A. is high!! I absolutely loved this movie when it first came out 20 years ago and I still love it. It was very well done and the movie is effectively creepy and disturbing. Definitely Brad Dourif's best work. Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and John Landis (An American Werewolf in London) directing doesn't hurt either. Put it in your queue already and forget about what this other dumbass who wrote a review about it said!

I have waited a long time to finally see this movie. I was not impressed; however; the storyline was weak and somewhat ridiculous because it seemed to make fun of the entire phenomenon. This also was not scary due to the bad acting and poor special effects. I found that this could probably fit more in the comedy section than horror. I could not in good faith recommend this production to others.
