anyone else like this movie? i was very surprised to find mostly bad reviews of it on the imdb. i found it to be an entertaining and above-average horror film and one of the very few films that actually scared me a little bit when i was a kid. it seems people always have to find something to complain about: "the acting is wooden", "the writing is lame", "it's unoriginal", "it rips off poltergeist", blah blah blah. why are some people so anal about films? it seems like a lot of people watch movies just to analyze and find fault with them. instead of just relaxing and enjoying a film for what it is, they dwell on all these trivial technical issues. it's like the old saying: you can't see the forest for the trees.
some people will watch a comedy and then complain about how silly it is and how dumb the characters are, without ever realizing that it's a comedy and not supposed to be serious and dramatic. i know that when i watch a movie, it comes down to two things: either i'm entertained or i'm bored. if i'm bored, i just turn off the movie and forget about it. the last thing i want to do is spend my quality time writing a review on a movie i think is boring. i guess there's just a lot of neurotic, anal-retentive people in the world.
