Notsohot submitted by markwells on August 13, 2017, 12:13pm Most Stephen King Novels fail to translate well to movie form. This one is kind of fun if you don't take it too seriously. Grade B-.

interesting! submitted by manz on July 7, 2019, 4:46pm I recently watched this again and it was so cheesy and fun. You can see where Stranger Things comes from.

Mixed submitted by jibkidder on June 17, 2022, 10:42pm On the one hand, what a performance from Barrymore, also what a great soundtrack by Tangerine Dream. Besides that, it simply doesn't reach the quality of a John Carpenter movie or some other such thing that has aged really well, but it's really all about the music and the mood created by it that I think endear one to this film so much. Very much the source of all Stranger Things ideas.
