One of the classic horror directors of the 80s. He made a couple of landmark films that were detrimental to the broader success of horror, but very few of them stood the test of time. His oeuvre is required viewing for every horror fan though.

Tobe Hooper's precursor to the current "extreme haunt" hype. If you're big on 80s cheese then there's a lot to like here, if not this is mostly a very cheap and badly acted horror flick that is low on scares and features some hideous practical effects. The intro is somewhat interesting, but once the real horror starts it gets iffy real fast.
