Bootay:
I haven't seen this new one yet, but I enjoy both the 1951, and 1982 versions. The original 1951 version is much shorter and obviously not as effect heavy. But the story is quite similar. Some of you younger guys might not be able to enjoy it because it is B&W. I personally enjoy the old B&W 1950s sci-fi/horror movies though.

The 1982 version is one of my all time favorite sci-fi/horror films. When I watch movies I don't try to compare them to today's standards, I compare them to the time's standards. I think that for the time the 1982 version had stellar effects. And I think that they still hold up pretty well for the most part.

Same here. I think Kurt Russell is a great actor, at least in those type of movies. The effects were done by Rob Bottin, and that was his second movie after Pirhana. A few of his movies inspired me to try and get into creature effects when I was a kid... but...computers ruined everything and now Im a bank manager.  :-\

HA! Funny. Same here. Tom Savini and a few others inspired me to get into special effects and then computers came and ruined it all. Now I work in Tech Support/Web Design.
