I find many horror films to emphasize young, hot "actors" and gore more than any real story or talent. Even though this is an older, cheesy movie with some dated effects, it's still enjoyable. Most of the actors range from bad to mediocre, except for the kindly old couple, but it's got charm to it, and a message: don't let life turn you into a wicked adult, keep in touch with the childlike part of yourself or you'll reap what you sow. Unlike another review here, I thought the methodology of the story and the "magic" was sufficiently explained, they just didn't hold your hand to reach the conclusion. I like that. All in all, worth watching if you're into some 80s camp.
