This easily qualifies for my all-time most frightening movies list. Rutger Hauer is incredible as the evil character who can't be reasoned with and will stop at nothing to commit mayhem, etc. C.

Rutger Hauer is incredible as the evil character who can't be reasoned with and will stop at nothing to commit mayhem, etc. C. Thomas Howell seemed exactly right in the role.

Do not take any considerations at the reviews of "critics" who claim that this is a mediocre movie, only their opinions are awful here. I only can agree on C Thomas Howell is probably not the best choice as the lead, but definitely feet to the character anyway. All these criminally awful critics are really beyond me, I was expecting a good overall rating from professionals and finally the correct ratings came from the metacritics users. What a joke.… Expand
