Thank god Joe Spano found his niche as cop, sidekick because he was not meant to be a heartthrob leading man. It took me awhile (without looking) to figure out who the girl was and considering I was to young to watch 8 is Enough I'm not sure how I recognized her. The movie is far better than I expected and think a 7 is an accurate level for this movie. I understand to a point why someone would give it a lower score but what were you expecting going in. Solid acting, good creep factor and I really liked the unconventional jump scares. Typical horror movie mistakes but one thing that was off for me was how quickly Jenny got over the things that she see's. I realize that that needs to happen to continue the storyline and it was just slightly to quick for me. I used to avoid 70's and 80's horror movies but it's interesting to see that this period for what it is, a stepping stone. It shows the transition from mostly implied violence to the blood baths we have today. If you except this movie for what it is and don't compare it to now you'll enjoy it, take your jaded modern critical eye hat and put it aside and that will make all the difference. One more thing wait till after the movie to look at the extras on this movie, especially the quotes because this movie has one of my favorite lines in a movie ever and it's better to see it cold. I have to admit that that line alone moved it from 6 to 7 stars.
