i remember see this film in the theater and like it . i happen to stumble upon it on fear net last month and watch it again and find it well with age . first of all for those of you who describe this a 80 cheese if you objectively compare it with the horror flick of the past 2 decade it compare quite well if stack up against film in it unique horror sub genre which i would term action or horror a oppose to psychological horror such a the shining or the exorcist . furthermore for it budget this film really deliver the good ( or in this instance bad ) . the film actually have some character development and give enough of a history of the infamous hull house to get the atmosphere right before the character set foot in the front door . the film also have several hilarious one liner and give the appropriate mood that a creepy horror flick should have . if you compare nod to contemporary big budget horror film such a i be legend ( the vincent price version be much good ) this film really stand out . modern horror flick have become almost completely dominate by cgi . most have no plot or character devel at all and be completely predictable . the special effect dominate these movie from start to finish and the character be 24k plastic . if this be 80 horror cheese i will take it over 95 % of current entry in the genre . on a closing note see nod again make me remember the beautiful jill terashita and wonder why i have not see her in more film horror or otherwise . jill on the odd chance that you read this i think you be gorgeous and should have be in more film . lastly and if you like action horror flick you will probably like this one a lot .
