i also saw it as a kid and thought it sucked ass - but i'm open to seeing it again and reassessing my early impression. . . so i deem it 'thread-worthy' (hell, there are very few films that aren't thread-worthy and anything by craven is certainly worth discussing)

I saw it years ago. i thought it was bad enough to make Shocker look like a good Craven film.

The only good part of that movie was the basketball scene. I remember rewinding that over & over as a kid.

It's good start to finish: the robot is ridiculous but quite endearing, the three friends are likeable characters (remember geeky Laborteaux from Whiz Kids, and Kristy Swanson is still hot), 'Elvira' from The Goonies is one seriously ugly old shotgun-wielding bag, the dad is a horrible bastard, the basketball scene is a showstopper and then there is the ending... ludicrous, improbable but still lots of fun.
Mostly, this film finally succeeds as a doomed horror love story. Not poncy stuff like Dracula, but more in the vein of the downbeat Return of the Living Dead III that followed.

Kinda like Corky from Life Goes On, retarded but loveable.
(I am burning in hell for that one...)
