I went to see this movie because, let's face it, I'm a horror nut.
Little did I know it was going to be a "B" movie in every way. It seemed like Victor Salva was only testing the waters with this one just to see where he could go with it.
The demon, later to be know as "The Bat Out Of Hell", was probably the best character in the whole movie. Albeit he only gets to "come alive" every 23 years to "feed for 23 days". (What the heck was up with the number 23 anyway ?) The rest of the characters were flakey and cheesey, to say the least.
The movie had promise, but, let' face it, it fizzled in the end. It was almost like a re-hash of the "Freddy Krueger" movies.
I had no idea there would be a sequel, until the sequel was released.
There is no way this first movie can be compared to the second one, though. Once you've seen this movie, don't give up, okay ? See the second one. You won't be disappointed. Trust me.
