9.7/10. I loved this movie. It's my favorite of Wes Craven's and one of the most underrated of his. I loved Kristy Swanson's acting, felt she owned the movie. Sure the ending's weak but that doesn't detract too much from the movie. It's well done and though out, shows what how far someone would go for someone they loved. It's like Frankenstein mixed with love and real life. I feel this movie was perfect and thankfully keeps the gore down for a unique experience because sometimes we need less gore in horror and I'm still a big horror fan. Kristy Swanson's magnificent here, she's another actress of the 80's who, like Lea Thompson, Helen Slater, Daphne Zuniga, and Amy Steel who never went anywhere despite putting out some great acting performances. Give this another chance folks if you've watched it before, watch again with an open mind.
