Marcela Notes: This was one of the first really scary horror movies I ever saw, I was 11 and at my friend Amber's slumber party, so terrified I was quite literally watching it through my fingers. I had night *terrors* for WEEKS after that! And to this day I still love it just as much despite being too aware of the level of cheese and low budget it shows a lot of the time. Fell FULLY in love with Justin Long and was absolutely traumatized by the ending. Yeah this actually did have a really big impact on my life and I feel the nostalgia of it every rewatch. 

Disclaimer: PLEASE DO NOT PAY TO WATCH THIS MOVIE. The director, Victor Salva, is a horrendous convicted sex offender who has served prison time for his crimes against a young boy. Definitely don't give a single penny to this pos. Kind of weird to watch this movie and see how many parallels there are between the Creeper and Victor, two gross hungry monsters.
