Just seen it as it has took a long time to be released in the UK and then it has gone straight to video.Did it flop in the US or something being as it did not appear at UK cinemas?
Anyway after a promising first 10 minutes I thought the film lost it's impact and became rather dull.Then the final half hour became a real tour de force but unfortunately the ending was a bit of a whimper after such a great build up.Plus the way it has been left open for a sequel is just pure Halloween 1 and 2 rip off.
Also I think the title should have been totally different as it is not relevant at all.Most of the killing is done with tools that would not fit in a tool box,it is not a remake of the 1970's movie and basically the story deserves a better title, something to associate with the supernatural element of the slasher and the apartment block.
All in all not the classic Tobe Hooper movie that I had been led to believe by various sources but worth seeing.:cool:
