Spoilers Ahead

I'd never seen this one before, in fact, before the Second Sight disc came out a few months ago I'd never even heard of it! So, with that being said, I was kind of surprised when the 'he's in the house' motif was already over after 20 minutes and turned into a PI chasing down an escaped child murderer. The middle act sags a little bit but was well acted enough to keep my interest going.

So the opening set piece and an exciting final 20 minutes make this a really worth while watch, the bluray looks fantastic and the package is great! I'm looking forward to watching the TV movie redo/sequel?? I'll probably leave it for a week or two though.
The remake is just the opening twenty minutes of the original film ie - the 'he's in the house' part. I quite like it. Never seen the original.
