This is one of the best horror films ever! It is funny,scary and suspenseful. Everything that makes a horror film great is in this film,a dark house, a nasty character,lots of victims AND,less traditionally,Jennifer Aniston. Warwick Davis is wonderfully camp and overblown in the title role,a far cry from his part in "Willow" and the script is first-rate. Plus the sequels are hilarious!
