Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It's fairly common knowledge that some, especially critics, say this film hasn't aged well. The usual things cited are things like dated special effects, a slow pace, an obviously low budget, and that it just isn't that great by today's higher standards. Whether or not you're in the camp that agrees with this or not, or even if you haven't seen it yet, just be informed that they're insane. If you're wondering, "Wow, are they insane?" then yes, you now know with certainty. This is obviously one of the best sci-fi horror films ever made for a variety of reasons, the biggest ones being atmosphere and cohesive storytelling, and I could go on for a long time about it, but it has never really been topped at any point in time. Actually, sci-fi horror has been a dead genre for quite some time primarily because it doesn't sell that well, and has a rather poor profit ratio due to the whole sci-fi thing upping budgets more than, say, a conventional slasher flick would. With film being so exclusive now where everything has to be a hit or it's never seeing the light of day, you just don't get film like this anymore, because it's not really permitted in the industry. It's kind of a shame, but if nothing else, we'll probably always have this to come back to, to remember what sci-fi horror is supposed to be like.
