I'm glad we watch this one directly after the new prequel. It only goes to emphasise how much they worked to link them up.

Glorious effects. My favourites being the head that detaches and grows little spindly legs and the arms being bit in half by an abdominal cavity that grows teeth. But there's a whole load of crazy cool stuff in this.

That dog at the beginning of the film is one of the creepiest dogs ever. Brilliant dog acting. The cast are great too. Kurt Russell is such a badass. They really push the paranoia and the slow build. The blood test scene is intense and so great to see again.

I almost forgot how bleak the ending is, but I really enjoyed catching up with this classic.
