And the ENDING!!!!
 
“FAAAATHERRRRRR!!!!!!!”

I wish there was more “cosmic horror” out there that isn’t overtly Lovecraftian.

You will not be saved by the Holy Ghost.
You will not be saved by the god Plutonium.
In fact,

YOU WILL NOT BE SAVED!

I can watch it over and over again and never get sick of it (which is something I can also do with In the Mouth of Madness.) The whole film is just moody and disturbing, and yes, those video transmission dreams stick with you long after you’ve watched. Also when was the last time you saw a leading man in a film with such an impressive mustache??

Always thought it was incredibly effective if not on par with The Thing, etc. Yeah, the dream transmission sequence gives me chills too,
