Great opening sequence. I was impressed by its terrific use of editing. The less said about the other parts, the better!

I remembered this as one of those good horror films followed by lots of bad sequels. Turns out it actually falls into the category of bad horror films followed by lots of bad sequels. At least it has some strange-small-town storytelling I like and combined with some 80s nostalgia I did enjoy rewatching it. But it can't be ignored that the story is bad, the pacing drags and the cult scenes and the end are just silly.
