I remember watching this film in theaters with a few friends. We had a blast and I think a lot of what changed our impression of the film was the after-credit scene. In-retrospect, however, after I watched the film again on DVD, I realized a lot bad aspects. The acting is less than brilliant and the story itself is generically contrived, it still has moments of style like I remember, but I see it now for only a decent horror film.
