- DerekOctober 29, 2025Wow! I can't believe I missed this one when I was a kid. I remember seeing it in the horror section at my local video store and never renting it. It has such a beautifully designed and memorable poster. It's a great paranormal mystery. I highly recommend because I really enjoyed it forty plus years later. And that intro!
