Tobe Hooper directed a film that's good, but it didn't manage to impress me. There are some great horror moments here, expertly filmed, not unnecessarily heightened by music or sound, as is often the case nowadays. This film holds up without any issues, but the overall pace is somewhat sluggish, lacking suitable fluctuations that would further captivate you. For a TV production, this is very good.
