I didn't even mention that the effects in this one are worse than the ones in the original. No excuse! It's slipshod!<br /><br />Andrew: Don't like horror movies?!? Sacrilege! ;)Walter L.

I think the best horror films, and some of the scariest, employ good old-fashioned storytelling and character development. More recent horror flicks put all their chips on realistic gore and effects, and that seems to attract thrill-seekers, but those of us who care about film really expect to take away more, even from a scary film.<br />In fact, some of my favorite horror films have been old classics with cheesy effects...there is something to be said for the special, delicious chill that can be found from some of these more harmless "fright" films!TomShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16718198770348083155noreply@blogger.com
