COMMUNITY REVIEWS
The 1978 version is much better
submitted by Will O on August 25, 2020, 7:59pm
I saw the '78 version first so had high expectations which weren't quite met.
This was good but didn't really have the same sense of terror and paranoia even though there were still moments that were good it just didn't quite do enough for me.
I know this was an allegory for communism so it's interesting from a historical context but I'll rewatch '78 instead of this one now that I've seen both.
