Now, I've never seen the original. I'm aware of it's existance, but my knowledge of it is limited. Now going into the 3D remake, one question arrises.
Is it any good?
Very much so. The movie deals with a town called Harmony, a mining town that was plagued by the murders of former miner Harry Warden. Now, several years later, Harry has come back to bring murder and destruction to the town. But is it really Harry, or an imposter?
This was the first 3D movie i've seen since i was like 6, so it was a unique experience. The gimmicky nature of the 3D and the overall cheesiness of the movie makes it really work. Horror films are a great vehicle for 3D movies.
The greatest reason to see this movie? Tom Atkins is in it! That's right, the "Thrill Me!" cop from the fucking awesome 80's horror comedy Night of The Creeps. That alone was worth the price of admission. That dude rules.
The movie is not without it's share of problems, though. I was sitting a little too high, so all the stuff coming out of the screen aimed towards my neck as opposed to my eyes. Also, the movie is pretty predictable, and the acting is questionable at times. Either way, it was a fun, entertaining, badass tribute to campy 80's horror, and i loved it.
7.5/10
