I thought it was "okay" when I first saw it on the old Paramount DVD, but I didn't hold on to the disc as I considered the film not worth keeping a truncated version of.<br /><br />So I picked up a reasonably priced Bluray. And I after watching it last night my feelings about the film remain the same. It's okay!<br /><br />The Bluray looks good enough to reveal one character is wearing a Gary Numan badge on his black leather jacket, but perhaps it highlights too much the difference between the pristine film and the newly inserted footage, thus alerting the viewer to a "gore moment" and taking you out of the movie.<br /><br />It's also a problem that once you're aware who the killer is - and most first-timers will surely guess well before the unmasking - the scare factor drops considerably because he's not an imposing figure like a Michael Myers or a Jason...or frankly, even Jason's mother! I must confess I don't much care for lead Paul Kellman and don't empathise with the group in the way I do with, say, the girls in HALLOWEEN.Milesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16605980.post-49364887030348699232009-12-04T20:32:25.136+00:002009-12-04T20:32:25.136+00:00Thank you for subscribing.
