The 1980s, (which probably begin for horror in 1979 with Alien) were the decade when special visual effects finally caught up with the gory imaginings of horror fans and movie makers.
The main demographic for audiences of horror movies in the 1980s was 15-24 year old and male; an audience seeking thrills as a rite-of-passage, seeking to prove that they have strong enough stomachs to sit through whatever the film-makers may throw at them.
The movie itself maybe not be as quote worthy as other 80's classics and some of the CG has not stood the test of time (where George Lucas when you need him) but the movie as a whole is still worth watching especially with Halloween coming up.

 US-Movies worth seeing
In Germany (and probably in most european countries), you can watch movies from all around the world every day on TV, and as soon as foreign directors like Claude Chabrol, Aki Kaurismäki or Martin Scorsese produce a new film, you can be sure to find it in the programs of the movie theaters.
When you check american TV schedules or movie theater programs on the other hand you could easily get the idea that most people in the U. are not aware that there are other places in the world - apart from Hollywood - where films are produced.

This movie perfectly captures the complex relationship between mother and daughter, between immigrant and new adopted culture, and it does so without the typical Hollywood emotional manipulation, but with all the intelligence and dignity each of these strong Chinese women exudes.

Members of Hollywood's elite were honoured yesterday by a group of local high school students, but not for anything they'll be in a hurry to include on their resumes.
In April 2005, for instance, 19 of the 20 top-grossing movies featured smoking of some kind, and 13 of those 20 were considered youth-rated, they said.
And while actors in the 1970s and 1980s smoked on screen every 15 minutes or so, in the 1990s they lit up every one to three minutes.
