I am surprised that Artisan went ahead and re-released this film. I rented this from the library and honestly I am glad there was no money spent. It's BAAAAAD I mean Craven has made some bad movies like shocker and deadly friend but this movie is funny bad. Dialogue like `this is professor Jarvis our neighborhood occult expert' is actually one of the highlights.
Craven either had no ability to stage actors to seem natural or more likely he just didn't care. Linda Blair ok the woman is vegan now so I have sympathy but got she is terrible. Fran dresher has a small cameo that is noteable only that it's werid.
Wes Craven has made a few brilliant films and wrote a great novel but he just doesn't seem to care much about how his name is abused.
I want my hour and half back.
