AFTER NEARLY THIRTY YEARS I STILL GOT THOSE GOOSE BUMPS THIS FILM WAS WAY BEFORE ITS TIME

This movie was good for its day,but now seems rather dated. The special effects still stand up as a bench mark for films for this genre.

The new cut on an old favourite with enhanced sound, music, additional scenes - like the walking crab! Is it better than the original? Well, it's difficult to watch the movie without the images of the numerous comedy sketches playing in your head spewing rivers of green slime...but, I did notice a difference. The beginning did appear much shorter before it got to the 'action' of Regan's 'spinning head' and it does have a different ending. Whether it's better, I will have to watch the original again to compare. Maybe it's the years since I last saw it, but my wife (who has never seen it) did ask what all the fuss was about. It's probably past it's 'sell by' date now and is only great to those who recall the absolute horror the original viewing created many, many years ago!

Always a classic. This version is better than the original theatrical release. More in depth story and a bit scarier. Special effects are showing their age but hey they are still great.

An old favourite standing the test of time and still maintaining its shock tactics !

Still holds up well and has the power to shock and offend. It's images are so well known, and it has been parodied many times that people who haven't seen it think they know it. If you are one of these people, trust me, you are wrong.
