Excellent spooky entertainer with a good dose of bumpy-jumpy scares thrown in. Direction is great, atmosphere is taut and pacy, and Cusack delivers as usual. Most of you know the plot already, and I aint saying more cuz it will spoil the movie for you. Just go watch it. You ll love it!:D

Straight Time (1978)
Saw this one at the Billy Wilder Theater as part of the LA Film Fest. A really cool film based on Eddie Bunker's brilliant novel No Beast So Fierce. Dustin Hoffman, Harry Dean Stanton, Gary Busey, Theresa Russell, M Emmet Walsh and a then-unknown Kathy Bates show us the addictive nature of criminality. Really cool 70s cinema that just isn't made anymore. 8/10 Hoffman, Stanton & Russell were there and participated in a panel discussion. I was just a few feet from Dustin Hoffman AND Harry Dean Stanton!!!!!!!!
