    This is a good classic wes craven. Dont be put off by the year, its still very enjoyable to watch. Not completly a horror film as a lot of comedy thrown in aswell. If you not seen this make sure you rent it!

  • An entertaining, cheesy horror comedy.

    Hilarious!

    There are moments in this film which are truly brilliant entertainment! The character of Roach made me giggle quite a lot but there is still quite a bit of horror thrown in.

    Granted, the horror cannot be taken seriously but there are still some creepy moments. Also, it's worth mentioning that there are some parts worth questioning 'WHY?!' but I suppose they just add to the comedy.

    A good film if you're a fan of Wes Craven or if you are just up for a cheesy horror comedy.

    What a great treasure this film was.

    I remember watching it back then on TV and it freaked me out. I got so freaked out about 'people in the walls' ( that might be a spoiler ) after watching this back then.

    And now as a grown up nice to see it again!

    A little bit tougher and wiser and not so scared anymore about 'people in the walls' but still a real classic treasure.

    Classic film making without that much CGI but still with a lot of shock effect and make up.

    Certainly a great watch for the lovers of the real Wes Craven's.

    was expecting a bit more than this, more a comedy than a horror, saying that I wasn't laughing more like crying by the end

    I won't give away the plot but in my opinion if you've seen one American horror from this era then you've seen them all. Asian horrors are way better
