Just think, in the year that brought us James Cameron's Aliens... we also get this slop. Poorly directed, overlong and the main cast kid is just dreadful. Acting like he's on the set of a school play, flapping his arms as he runs in the action sequences. Karen Black over-acts but is pretty in her own unique way and was just about the only thing that kept me going. Watch the original, this version is a paint-by-numbers remake that offers nothing new. I view it as an extra long Twilight Zone episode of the same era.
