an amazingly chilling, genuinely scary surprise, 9 January 2001
Author: Mox-4 from Atlanta, GA

After a nothing-short-of ridiculous Amityville Horror, I was loathe to spend theatre bucks on this one. I first saw it when it hit cable. Ok, I was a grown man, very secure, I believe I was in college at the time.

Im a very normal guy (mmmmwhhhaaaaa)...and this movie scared the DEVIL out of me! It was extremely well done...well acted...it was a BIG plus to see the gorgeous young Diane Franklin (whose promising career must've derailed somewhere along the line). The suspense is abundant in this flick...the morphing scenes...where the demon morphs into different people were way ahead of their time.

I am not kidding, this is a movie I will own one day. It is a fine example of its genre. Don't think about it, just watch it and squeeze the hand blue of someone you love...it is classic eighties. The best of its kind, IMHO.

I wonder whatever happened to Diane Franklin?

Go on, rent it...you'll lay a brick! You'll have a laugh or two also...but I dare ya...(smile)
