An Original 80's Child Horror First, let me start by saying, as a child I LOVED this movie. Stephen Dorff only being a year or two older than me, growing up in the 80s and loving horror movies, this was and remains one of my favorites. I took notes from this movie, just in case this happened to me. Secondly, I totally cried when the movie ended because I felt overjoyed the kids lived, and I didnt want the movie to end. I wanted to know more. The sequel by the way, sucks! Demons, hot fashion of the 80s, tract housing and lame lingo all go hand in hand in this tale of a slumber party gone extremely wrong. NEVER leave your kids at home is all Im saying.

Loved this movie as a kid. Still stands my test of time. Had to show my son so he could feel as I did at his young age, heheh. Those little creeper goblin dudes are still freaking me out at 34.

One of my favorite 80s horror movies I remember watching this as a child during a Saturday night sleepover. This movie is so great! I think I broke Movie Time's VHS copy from renting it so much.

Great classic. I love it when old movies i saw as a child are available to rent or own. Some movie websites don't even have this movie available. Wonderful to see it here. Nice. Google is the best. :)

Buckling under the weight of his conscience after years of parting desperate believers with their money, Cotton and his crew plan to film a confessionary documentary of this, his last exorcism. But upon arriving at the already blood drenched family farm, it is soon clear that nothing could have prepared him for the true evil he encounters there.
