This one is one of the last of Wes Craven’s films I feel like I need to see. I had put it off for so long (mainly due to availability), but it is probably my least favorite of his films. I wasn’t as experimental as LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT or as smart as SCREAM. A lot of stuff is neither here nor there for me. I’m not used to seeing a young Dee Wallace (I mainly know her as the Mom in E.T.) so that was interesting. Some of the traps that are set are really cool like the matchbox and the door. The dogs ultimately end up being the real heroes in this, which made it hard for me to really root for the people.
