If you are a fan of old comics (and bad Stallone movies), the Bean clan was also the inspiration for the Angel clan in Judge Dredd comics.

I find the whole movie disturbing. However, I like how he shows how "ordinary" people can turn violent in certain circumstances. Kimberly J.M.

I think it's pretty gutsy for its time.<br /><br />I also appreciate the fact that Brenda proves to be more than the stereotypical woman in distress in a horror film by the end. That's a major sell point for me.<br /><br />I also think Wes Craven is really underrated as a director. George Romero is rightfully considered horror royalty for his <i>Living Dead</i> films, but Craven came up with this, <i>Last House on the Left, A Nightmare on Elm Street</i> and <i>Scream</i>.

And knowing it's going to be a horror movie going in already makes me a little hesitant, so it also has the challenge of overcoming that small resistance I have built up prior to watching it.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.com
