Or, as you can see here, Points on a Graph.



I don't think the film was quite as silly as it could have been, mostly due to the middle section - it starts off slowly and builds up the atmosphere of silliness for a while, only to hit you with an absolutely traumatic half-hour or so. During this time I stared at the back of the seat in front of me and reminded myself that at least I wasn't watching Braindead.

After that, the daftness of it all returns. Having been urging the on-screen Samuel L Jackson to "Say it!" under my breath for most of the film, I was very pleased that the famous added line got a round of applause that would have done an NPH audience proud when it eventually appeared. Then it hits you with a final scare, and once you think that's over, there's a final final one, just to make sure.

Nevertheless, you have to admire a film that gathered such a huge cult status before it was even released.
