I'd give it a 7/10, but if judged by the opening 10 minutes, a 10/10. Title: Re: Box Office Horror Flashback: 1984 Post by: tracy on June 18, 2012, 03:33:21 PM I really liked this one in particular...

I would never have guessed; always thought that was as direct-to-video as you could possibly get. Very entertaining movie though, for all the wrong reasons :bouncegiggle:
Razorback is a favorite of mine, been meaning to pick it up on DVD one of these days.

I actually owned the novelization of that as a kid. Lots of pretty solid, imaginative and fun little films what with Dreamscape, C.H.U.D. and Night of the Comet.
