Still worth viewing with good turns by Keith Gordon (JAWS 2, DRESSED TO KILL and directing many episodes of DEXTER) and Robert Blossoms (DERANGED, HOME ALONE) along with an early performance by Kelly Preston. ***
I thought Carpenter did a great job with this film, especially the special effects. There's a few clunky scenes, like where the 'bad kids', who look they are 45 years old, stick a switchblade into our hero's lunch bag.
