Thanks a lot of the heads up here, Mark!!!
My girl is gonna flip when she finds this out. She loves this movie and would definitely want to see it on the big screen.
And to the analysis further up....no horror film is meant to be taken that seriously...the only ones I would seriously think about would be Romero's Living Dead trilogy. Those got some seriously heavy themes at work there.

Good horror films can have plenty of subtext. Certainly, slasher movies won't have much subtext, but good horror pictures can. I'm not the world's biggest Wes Craven fan, but consider the look at families and society in The Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes or in Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. How about the dazzling hyperkinetic visuals of the Evil Dead trilogy? Great art, they ain't but it hard to have more fun. That's not to say that there is no fun to be had from slasher movies, though.
