5/5 One of my favourite movies, though as a kid I just liked the supernatural suspense (perhaps the political criticisms seeped in subconsciously!).

I think this movie needs to be shown in Berkeley, California where right now the city is trying to oust the military recruiters there. I do hope they succeed. It would be nice if *every* American city did so, such that the military would have to prey on the nation`s children from offshore!
