Re-watched part 2 and 3, a while back, and it was a sad reminder of how poor that franchise turned out, very fast. Then again, I was never really much of a fan of the first film, and felt the short film, The Disciples of the Crow, or something not far of, was way more creepy and unsettling, in both atmosphere and the kids. However, one of the much later ones, I guess by the mid or late 90s (once again, forgotten the title), but one I believe starred Craig Sheffer?, anyway, that one, was quite a pleasant surprise. Ah, I dunno. I think the first one holds up okay, depending on what you're looking for. Sure, it's pretty campy and it's not all that scary, but I had fun with it. Linda Hamilton and Peter Horton make for likeable enough leads, and John Franklin and Courtney Gains are both endearingly batshit. I'll still vouch for the first. I mean, that opening scene alone is worth the price of admission. And I'm always glad to see Linda Hamilton. Also, you gotta love quoting it. "OUTLANDER! WE HAVE YOUR WOMAN!" sounds really great shouted across a parking lot.
