    It was great when I was 17. Still not too bad. But needs an update.
  • Andrew BlackApril 4, 2026
    An anti-horror movie horror movie with a superfluous bad guy (why have the evil video game if Trickster was going to be the antagonist in every scene?). The best part was easily Edward Furlong's awesome bedroom.
