- Crypto knightJune 27, 2025I first saw this as a kid. It was one of about 5 horror movies that really scared me and burned its images into my mind like a mental tattoo. And I mean that in a good way :-) If you’re going to watch a scary movie , do it right! Gore is ok, but this film doesn’t rely on it to be scary, the story and acting are top notch. A horror masterpiece courtesy of Steven Spielberg.
- Desmond DaleJanuary 24, 2025I wish I had a time travel machine today appreciate just how scary it might have been when it came out, but in my opinion most of the special effects have aged like milk and the film doesn't have any sort of psychological depth or existential dread to make it worthwhile in other areas.
