How have I not seen this?
Anyways, I rather enjoyed it. The acting, a bit wooden, but the sets (rather, the period and location) I loved. The characters the actors rather woodenly (for the most part - Hutch was good) portrayed - were interesting, the apartment, furniture, people, mood, décor reflect my childhood.
Which - all things told - was a far, far better time to be alive. A horror movie built upon the pleasant fictions or memories of my youth.
I'll take it any day to grim reality of the present.
