I'm surprised
I really enjoyed this. It has some hokey moments which are a product of its time, but I love how you sympathize with Harry but fear how warped he is. He's dangerous and he has good intentions. That leads to some decent tension.
shareI think it’s great. I saw it for the first time last year and I gave it a second watch recently and I enjoyed it even more this time.

John Waters recommends this as his favorite Thanksgiving/Christmas themed film.
I NEED TO SEE THIS ONE...I REMEMBER A VHS I NEVER RENTED...JUST ADDED IT TO MY WATCHLIST.
Slow burn character study here with a nice ending. I like it, but it’s really a slow mover.
shareI FIGURED THAT OUT...WHICH IS NOT SUPER EXCITING FOR ME...BUT I HAVE VIVID MEMORIES OF THE VHS THAT I SAW A MILLION TIMES BUT NEVER RENTED...THOSE UNRENTED TAPES HAUNT ME.
shareI know just what you mean. There were so many movies I held and read the back cover of over and over but never rented. They built a reputation in my mind and often I did not get to watch them until years later. Those type of experiences, I’m betting just like you, keep me in love with physical media to this day.
