So, I read this book senior year of HS 1992 and this movie came out in 1994, so the book was fresh in my mind and the original films' monster was nothing like the book. This was supposed to be far more realistic to the source. I was really excited for it to come out. I saw it and I remember there were some things I thought were corny AND the monster wasn't portrayed superhuman enough for my knowledge of the book but overall, I liked it ...only later to see reviews that it got pretty hammered. It has its cheese but I still think it deserves much more credit than it got for trying to adapt the book more closely.
At least the grandpa was nice and understanding enough to feel sorry for him.

Is that Richard Briers playing the old blind man?
