«Scared Stiff» is a hidden gem of eighties' horror. In a sense it is almost like a Lucio Fulci film with all the weird stuff going on and the great set-pieces and practical effects only lacking the dreamlike atmosphere of the best of Fulci's efforts.
The movie delivers in everything. The acting is very good for this type of film, the effects are tremendous (that zipper scene....wow), the set pieces from the house to the asylum are excellent, the ending is surprisingly bleak (in a sense , this isn't the most serious film ever), the monster looks glorious.
Arrow did a fantastic job, as always , so now one can enjoy films like this on his/her huge tv screen, almost like being in the movies.
This really isn't a 10/10 film but I give it this rating because it surely isn't a 4.6/10 film either. True rating ,for me, 8/10.
