This atmospheric, dreamy horror flick has long been considered a classic, almost universally, despite the often disjointed feel, in part by great performances by the main actors and creativity of the script.
What do you think about The Tall Man's debut?

Still have never seen any movie in the series. I feel like I'd enjoy them.
Honestly, that amazes me.
I hope the consistent praise that horror fans often give it doesn't end up making you expect too much from it.
When you do get around to it, let us know what you think.
I've not seen the fifth one, on a side-note, but the first and second are amazing. Third's still pretty good, but doesn't have some of the charm the first two had.
I've watched at least the first two in the series but I didn't pay well enough attention (or I wasn't really in the mood when watching) to the point where I don't remember most of it nor could I rate it without seeing again.
It's one of those series where even the bad movies are fun enough to sit through. Kind of like what NOES does but better.
Especially since A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child is almost maddening to sit through. [*laugh*]
