  • Still a great movie to watch!

    Very interesting action science fiction, great role by William Hurt, impressive spfx, even by today's standards. Highly recommended, but for mature audiences only, lots of nudity.

  • Hollywood almost spoils a great work by a great writer

    Chayevsky's concepts regarding the ever present primitive baggage we carry is fascinating in itself. But the movie puts too much emphasis on the "horror" aspects rather than the behaviorial psychology aspects. This could and should have been a more psychological thriller rather than a weak horror film.

  • Scary...biological nightmare...hair-raising...

    Since it's first release,this movie was destined to be a "cult classic". If it doesn't make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck, then you are probably a psychotic yourselves! The writing keeps you spellbound and the movie manages to capture that spirit throughout. Just try imagining something within the realm of believe-ability that scares the socks off of you and this movie hits the spot. But hey, this is only one man's opinion. I have watched this movie so many times, it should have warn off of me. Like Somewhere in Time", it has not and I am glad I own it-as a showing of respect for those who went to the trouble of producing such a captivating film. For those who are easily offended, there is some unfettered sex in it along with a bit of violence and some foul language, but most of it goes towards enhancing the overall worth of said story. Note: you may not end up liking the main character or his treatment of girlfriend/wife, but, again, it's all in your perspective. This film still creeps me out and NO...I have no desire to "De-differentiate myself" at all ;-)

  • Great old Sci-Fi thriller that has been overlooked by many. Check it out!

    One the most underrated Sci-Fi thrillers, but definitely one of the best! A childhood favorite of mine that I have not seen in years. It was fun and good trip seeing it again.

  • Great film. Hard to watch if you're claustrophobic. (lol)

    This movie was the cutting edge in its time. Melodramatic yes, sometimes cheesey...but thought provoking. Back when primal retreat was a hot topic.
