My ma, of all people, got me into both this movie, as well as the original '74 "BLACK CHRISTMAS", by telling me they were the two scariest things she'd ever seen. This shit is pretty tame now, but still carries that tension, like ya said. Great review. Good times.J.

It's not nearly as funhouse as some of Castle's better known stuff... it's more subtle so maybe that's why it holds up well. <br />It certainly reminds me of how much has changed since I was a kid... how relatively safe the world seemed (even though it wasn't).<br />Good call on spotlighting this one.Timmy Crabcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737954661234574830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-55545363846498779152009-09-08T14:39:59.333-07:002009-09-08T14:39:59.333-07:00Senski, I agree that the ISWYD theme music is one ...Senski, I agree that the ISWYD theme music is one jazzy tune! It's a little jarring at first - as Wings noted - but I found myself bopping to it by the end. <br /><br />Glad you like the blog - I have to thank Kindertrauma for directing a lot of readers my way! Those guys are the best! <br /><br />Wings, thanks to linking to your review! It looks like we both probably watched the same showing on TCM the other night. This was actually my first time watching this and my wife and I both had a ball with it.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-5847884178821092962009-09-08T12:59:34.687-07:002009-09-08T12:59:34.687-07:00Hah!

I just watched this the other day, too, and reviewed it yesterday.<br /><br />Fun flick, but the sometimes-comical soundtrack was often misplaced, to me. Would be better, in some of the really dark or tense scenes, with a harder score.<br /><br />But it is a good one, definitely over looked, I think.<br /><br /><a href="http://wings1295.blogspot.com/2009/09/movie-monday-infestation-final.html" rel="nofollow">My review is here.</a>Wings1295https://www.blogger.com/profile/08045644215235749353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-88787125597188141352009-09-08T12:30:31.707-07:002009-09-08T12:30:31.707-07:00Castle had hoped to get some added publicity when ...Castle had hoped to get some added publicity when he hoped ISWYD would lead to a rash of teens committing similar pranks.
