this film be like no other . yes and at time it can be predictable but your afraid for it to happen . i do think this movie match up to halloween and and a nightmare on elm st. because it different . a mad man throw blood sucking sphere . he be also really creepy . he wasn not dead and and he do not wear a mask he be a simple character . i also find the special affect really good for this movie since it be make so long ago . if you like the horror movie of the 70 and 80 you have to check this flick out . the acting be above average and there be many fright scene and the music be frighten and and it be definitely worth buying and also a movie you can watch over and over again . positive .
