Hooray, you've kicked off this theme!

Well written. Thanks for taking me down this nostalgia alley. I haven't seen the movie again since my first viewing at the cinema - like you say, it was THE horror to see at the time, and Sarah Michelle Geller was making the transition to the big screen - and I don't remeber much except for the sense of dread. But that opening scene, of Bill Pullman on the balcony... that moment and image has never left me.

Thanks, Filip. Appreciate it.

Yeah, that opening scene stuck with me, too, over the years. Even though Pullman delivers an otherwise utterly bored performance in the rest of the film, haha.
