I loved this movie back when it was released. I re-watched it recently and it holds up! I remember why I like it so much. Great suspense and a few really good scares. I'm only giving it 4 stars because there are a few minor plot holes, some clunky dialog and the pacing was off from time to time.

I remember being impressed when I saw it years ago. Now it just seems childish. It works like any other propaganda piece.

When I was a kid, my Grandfather was always buying boxes of old movies at yard sales, pawn shops etc. This movie was in one of those boxes. It was horrifying as a kid even though the plot made no sense to me. The slow motion exploding bodies were gory AF, and it was tense when the eggs were about to explode.

For anyone who has read the book series, this movie is a complete disaster. So much plot and so many interesting characters were omitted. Even Anne Rice herself was disappointed. I recommend reading the series
