I've rewatched this a couple of times over the years and it never struck me as much as it did the first time around, but still has great performances and a creepy atmosphere. Good flick.

This was a big deal on release among fans of White Wolf's Hunter: the Reckoning RPG, since it's basically the same underlying premise. Great, often harrowing movie with great performances from everybody involved.

I put this on DVD twenty-odd years ago. RIP Bill Paxton, an unsung director.
