I saw the original 1953 film for the first time a year or so ago and thought it was pretty neat. Tobe Hooper's remake seems to be directed at kids and is a very clunky. The ending is more than a little upsetting, I thought the whole "It was all a dream" ending was just an example of bad writing, not something that people ever really used...

What is does have is some very funny looking alien creature work from the late great Stan Winston, some very theatrical lighting and a nice little score by Christopher Young.

There are some delightfully cheesy moments throughout, unfortunately I didn't much care for the kid.
